I believe one member have said that the size is M15, that means the hole is 12mm in diameter, can it be confirmed ? Because if we change the connectors, at least not drill or affect the panel. DC1MC

Because if we change the connectors, at least not drill or affect the panel. DC1MCOkay the picture below is of one of these connectors salvaged from a defunct Solartron. The measured diameter of the threaded section is for a 15mm hole. The front outer ring of the socket is 19mm.Cable diameter on plug is 7mm OD. and the cable is shielded 4 core with each core having that 'PTFE' feel !.

but what to get for some nice shielded dual conductor flexible cable for the main set of 2 wire test leads ?

That is sufficient to prevent external chemical/UV/etc damage to the cable.However, I've seen quite a few cables where the individual wire insulation is something else, e.g. PVC. That is, if you are fussy, less good with respect to insulation and leakage between wires. Whether that matter is a separate issue, of course.

Well, got the Chinglish reply at the question if the individual wires are also in PTFE isolation. direct quote:Quote"Neue Nachricht von: ayumitubes Top Rated Seller(8,365Green Star)HI Sir Yes, all PTFE Thank youBest RegardsAlex"So this is this ,DC1MC
Now that the cable is done, what are recommending on the business end, hi-quality bananas, tips, grabbers, all ideas, advices and sources welcome.
the PTB's hp3458 had cables with small gold plated hollow banana plugs. Not sure of the attachment mechanism to the wires, but I suspect solder. Stackable connectors are a convenience.
Come on dear German/EU forum members, really nobody wants some overpriced but hi-quality connectors for their Solartrons to make the 10pcs quota from Andreas ?

Sorry. But that's just too expensive for my taste. That's about ten times what I paid for the instrument itself.
I'm in for one.How is the procedure?
To be fair, mine was cheap but also broken. It's my next repair project. It fail 0V test but overall kind of works

Cheers, DC1MC

It fail 0V test but overall kind of works Hopefully the worst thing will be some incapacitated capacitors or just some calibration related stuff. Good luck and let us know how it went, DC1MC
