Sort of Off Topic - Probes

John, since you asked about replacing them I believe you were interested
in the chassis connectors.  That was the Amphenol 80-75-PC1M.  The
mating cable connector was the 80-75-MC1F (straight) or 80-75-MC1FA (90
deg angle, rarely used).

The 80-75-MC1F plug, among other old Amphenol numbers, is still made by
WPI (Wire-Pro) and is available through various distributors.  They do
not seem to make the chassis jack anymore, so the easiest solution may
be to leave them in place and buy the plugs.  Neither they nor any other
WPI products are cheap.  Alltronics was closing out the plugs a while
back at $0.85 each, but everything they had was gone in a hurry and is
now being resold for considerably more.
