Not sure if this is best in here, or the tube forum.
I'm putting together some nine pin noval base tube adaptors, but seem unable to source suitable base pins. They are approximately .9mm in diameter but I can't seem to find a suitable source. Either individual pins over 10mm long or stiff wire of the appropriate diameter would do.
Has anyone come across this or have any ideas.

They're certainly measuring .9 on the vernier I'm using.
An old valve so probably quite worn.

Tube socket - Wikipedia for reference.
One possible supply is for DB9 and DB25 connector pins I think they are the same size.

Should really have checked specs instead of just measuring an old tube, but I'll have a look at the DB9 and 25 connector pins.
Many thanks.
Many thanks.
