[sdiy] alligator patchbay ideas?

[J. Larry Hendry]

How about those pins used to insert in molex connectors?  Might not be big
enough for 3 alligator clips.  But, at that price, you could solder them two
high.

I'm trying to think of a way to make an ultra cheap
(or disposable) patchable noisemaker.
And I was thinking of something along the "300 in 1"
electronics kits, where you join stuff up by linking springs
(the terminals) with alligator cables.

But, I can't think of any readily available (and easy to
solder or otherwise connect to a PCB) suitable terminals.
Any ideas? Must be 10 cents each or less & allow at
least three small alligator clips to hold on.

The box headersI have a re too close together, but if
anyone can point me to somethgin similar in a wider
format (and suitably cheap) I woudl be most obliged.

and stoners, so Switchcraft jacks or banana cables
are out!)
