Default 829B, 3E29, QQV03-20 Connector

Hi,

Anyone have a source for a decent connector for the anode pin of these tubes ?

I have made some from brass sheet but I have seen some very pretty ones on commercial amps.

Common method is to use a piece of whatever metal, id = that of the 829B's pin, and a small setscrew.

make the od the same size as a common anode cap (1/4", 3/8" etc).. sort of an adaptor rather than a one piece deal.

Or just use "female" pin connectors, like the audio amp manufacturers use for these.
