Just while I think of it. Re: [sdiy] Tek 7854

[Batz Goodfortune]

Y-ellow Mattias, Tom 'n' all.
         I had meant to chime in on this thread while it was fresh but I 
also have a 7854. And yes these things are addictive. I would have liked to 
have got more boxes for it but that's how it goes.

What I HAVE got however is the logic analyzer box with the data formatter 
and all that. What I HAVEN'T got are any probes for it. I'd make some up 
but I have no idea what plugs belong to those little D-like sockets. I 
think I've got the pin-outs for it somewhere but I have no idea what they 
are. They look like a cross between a honda socket and a DB connector. Only 
plastic.

So here's my questions for anyone who might be able to help me here. What 
are these plugs called? Where could I get some? or better still, Is there a 
good source from which I could scrounge some cheaply? Like off the back of 
something else. Something I might find in a junk shop or "Gasp!" on evilbaby.

I have to say, this scope is kick-ass. Some TEK heads seem to regard it as 
the best scope TEK ever made. I don't know about that but it's the best 
scope I've ever owned. Though I'd love a stack of 500/5000 series TEK gear 
on my bench. The distortion anal-eyezer, counters and the like. But alas I 
shall probably never come across them at a price I can afford.

I'd join a Tek List but I have enough trouble keeping up with this one so 
If anyone could fill me in on getting hold of those strange connectors, or 
even a cheap pair of probe sets, I'd at least remember to stand well back 
while my head explodes with gratitude.

Thanks in advance.
