Banana Grounding Adapters
2003-05-30 by Cynthia Webster
Howdy!
All of the Cynthia brand Modcan compatible Power Supplies include
a front panel mounted Green Grounding Banana Jack specifically for this
machine to machine grounding purpose.
There is also a "Grounding Kit" at the bottom of the Banana Cables page
that offers a complete little kit that includes a 72" long green grounding
banana cable, as well as two loose Green Banana Jacks and lock washers for
adding Green Ground Banana jacks to various other pieces of equipment
such as mixers, or Arps, or whatever else you are brave enough to drill
a 5/16 inch hole into!

Once this connection is made between machines, one can make some pretty
crude adapters fairly easily. I even made one by adding rubber feet to a
discarded tin can (now full of 1/4 and mini-phone jacks) that originally
contained diced chilis! (Ok, it was a Sunday night and I was desperate for
a project enclosure, but a lot of people like to pick it up and marvel at
it's simplicity)!
Hope this helps
