Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Good techniques for cleaning up old artwork?

Hello Jim Pruitt:

Could you be referring to "MOLEX PINS"?

Years ago I purchased a bag-full of these items from a now defunct electronics mail order supplier.

I still have a few of them, and use them as required.
You can make any size IC socket you require using these pins.

Regards,

Roland F. Harriston

In the 70's I bought some strips of ic pins.  You broke off the number you needed per row and stuck them in the holes and soldered them (top and bottom if you wanted as there was no plastic carrier for them) and then broke off the metal flange to separate the pins.  I can't remember what they were called but they were used and sold in the Hal ST6 rtty converter kits I built.
