OT: Help buying banana sockets manufactured by Abbattron / HH Smith, anyone?

[Dekatron42]

Hi,

I am looking for three (3) each of black and red banana sockets manufactured by Abbatron / HH Smith numbered 1509-102 (red) and 1509-103 (black).

For some reason all of the companies carrying these that ship to Sweden have decided to demand that you have a company, that you buy at least 100 pieces and that you pay a hefty extra cost for buying them, above an extra shipping cost which is normally free - now, I don't have a company so I trip there already. I can't find them on eBay or any other surplus sites either (there are a few 100 and 50 packages sold on eBay only white and black but no red that I can see).

These banana sockets aren't really expensive or anything, it is just that they have two flat sides and I need them to repair an old oscilloscope, a Conar 255 Solid State Oscilloscope, and they are identical to the original ones and fit in the panel holes.

Can anyone here help me to buy them and ship them to me? I'll pay for them and the shipping of course!

/Martin

Martin, let’s see what offers you get first.

I inherited many cubic metres of parts and semi-dismantled equipment about six years ago. [You “knew” the guy slightly from AVO discussions iirc – from Adelaide.]

I sorted a lot of it while the experience was a bit novel. I didn’t get back to it after a couple of events interrupted.

I have two ten litre plastic boxes relatively easy to access of various banana sockets taken from test equipment.

NOTE:  most of these are the binding post variety though. I get the impression the ones you want are just a panel socket?

I am assuming 4mm too.

Might be able to help if you can supply photo.   Oh, I could go look at the part numbers you mentioned [it is 0409, so I have an excuse for skipping over it J].

 

OK, so I looked on the web. Now I’ll ponder the location of my boxes.

 

I am located in Australia.

A quick search shows that Newark and Allied both have the HH Smith ones, though the Allied black ones are on back order

[Dekatron42]

Yes, that is correct, but when I try to order from them, or any other distributor, and select that I live in Sweden they suddenly add those extra charges as they don't have them in any European warehouse and they also change it into "company order only" so that blocks me too. I guess they don't sell many overseas so they have put this limit on them. I even tried to order them through a company which I have had a lot of help from but even they had the "company order only" on these and they couldn't circumvent that either.

I prefer new ones as the plastic becomes brittle over the years and when you press the banana plug into the socket the front comes lose, that's what happened.

I hope this is solved now, I'll let you know when I receive them.

Thanks to everyone for helping out!
