Re: Wirewrap DIP sockets - any interest?
So I received many requests for WW sockets - more than I thought I would - so I am going to pick two people at random to deal with. If you do not hear from me, do not despair - if either of the two I originally picked flakes out or something, you may get reselected! Anyway, the sockets are likely not going to the scrap! -- Will On Mon, Feb 11, 2019 at 3:25 PM William Donzelli wrote: > > Does anyone here still actively wire wrap circuits?

I have a small one that's just rows of push-in pins like that (with pins 7 and 14 bused to power buses). From Augat, I think. paul

Of late (the last 20 years or so), I've turned to drilling single-sided PCB for socket patterns and using the push-in ww pins. Makes for a much neater project with a good ground plane. --Chuck

I might think that the 40s with full plate on the pins might be a buck or so each. -- Will On Mon, Feb 11, 2019 at 7:25 PM Bill Degnan via cctech wrote: > > What is the gold value? > > On Mon, Feb 11, 2019, 6:11 PM mike via cctech wrote: > > > Will I would be interested in some. > > > > Mike Zahorik > > (414) 254-6768 > > -Original Message- > > From: cctalk [mailto:cctalk-boun...@classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of William > > Donzelli via cctalk > > Sent: Monday, February 11, 2019 02:37 PM > > To: Bill Gunshannon; General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts > > Subject: Re: Wirewrap DIP sockets - any interest? > > > > I will start to gather them up.

I will start to gather them up. Basically, 25 cents for little guys (14s, 16s, etc), 50 cents for big guys (24s, 28s, 40s), and a buck for 28s and 40s with full gold plate.

Re: Wirewrap DIP sockets - any interest?
I will start to gather them up. Basically, 25 cents for little guys (14s, 16s, etc), 50 cents for big guys (24s, 28s, 40s), and a buck for 28s and 40s with full gold plate.

What do you have and what are you looking to get for them? I am not too far away, over the border in PA. Used to live in The Hudson Valley and still make fairly often trips to West Point. bill
