Yours looks formidable indeed.

What materials did you use - I am interested in the specs of the sheet metal! - and how did you bond them to the pin block?

Thank you!

I sold off extra parts years ago: http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-609.html

Note that the ribbon cable assembly can be had for FREE from Samtec if you request samples.

I discovered that after use the pogo pins got bent a little causing the pogo to become a NOGO and not make contact. To help support the pin an extra IDC housing can be slid over the pins and taped in place, as in the above pic.

The brass strip came from the local hobby shop, specs in the link.
