content: I've been troubleshooting and fixing this one unit, but ended up breaking a couple of things inside it aswell, so I'm now looking for a place to buy spares. I want both the copper/brass PCB pins and the inserts that you crimp on your wires. Anyone know where to find something "identical"?

content: I have some gold plated pins but i don't really know if they are for pcb or crimping. Take a look at the photos and let me know if they are similar or if you can use them. From the photo you attached i can't see any detail ...

content: I found something similar a few days ago on ebay:http://www.ebay.de/itm/Buchse-fur-Lotstift-Lotnagel-1-3mm-mit-Crimpanschluss-100Stuck-/151309887871?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item233ac5a97fThis might be suitable, although it's not brass (or whatever that metal is)What do you think?Edit: There are different dimensions for these parts. These are 1.3 mm, but they also have 1.0 mmEdit2: The brass pins are available here:Brass, silver-plated in 1.0 mm and 1.3 mmBrass in 1.3 mmhttp://www.rec-technik.de/loetstift-loetoese-luesterklemme/index.htmlI'm still looking for the inserts/lugs...

content: Take a look at Reichelt.de:http://www.reichelt.de/Loetoesen/RTM-1-3-100/3/index.html?&ACTION=3&LA=2&ARTICLE=15319&GROUPID=3251&artnr=RTM+1%2C3-100They have both Brass without plating as well as silver-plated....RTM are the pins (in German they are called "soldering nails" for whatever reason)...RF are the lugsReichelt should also have an English page for your convenienceOh... and look out for dimensions.You should be sure to order matching pairsbtw: If you find the proper designation in English, please let us know.I happened to remember the German name by chance

content: Quote from: Thilo78 on May 30, 2014, 08:35:09 pmWell, not so coincidentally it's also a German product (West Germany, 1985), that I'm trying to refurbish. My understanding of German is just about as sufficient as to navigate a website, but English is always prefered! I really appreciate those links, will order them right away. Just a question though, can you tell what exactly these are?http://www.reichelt.de/Solder-Lugs-Solder-Pins/RF-1-3-100/3/index.html?&ACTION=3&LA=2&ARTICLE=15214&GROUPID=3251&artnr=RF+1%2C3-100Maybe the German site will explain that better, are they silver-plated brass? So they won't have that brass color?

content: Those are silver plated = "versilbert".I'd think that they have a nice shiny colour, until they oxidize. Then they are supposed to be a nice black, unless they are treated somehow...Quote from: TheAmmoniacal on May 30, 2014, 08:44:30 pmSound like we are going to see another teardown soon?I'd love to see the unit that shows such nice connectors.

content: So reichelt don't have the "superlang" 16 mm, nor do they have them in brass. And rec-technik don't ship here, typical. At least I got some keywords to search for.
