3mm sockets made from 4mm
I am making a power supply for a 1920s radio I am restoring. I have reported on progress on the radio on a separate post.
I have had difficulty in locating 3mm sockets for the wander plugs. I can get plenty of 4mm from ebay ones so decided to adapt them.
I purchased some thin wall 4mm od brass tube at my local craft shop and used it as a sleeve, fixing it in place with a small soldered joint.
The wander plugs fit perfectly.
Next time however I will solder them in place after fixing them to the chassis otherwise the solder will stop the nut being fitted....
