I don't have anything! The last picture on this page shows the items:-

and the plugs on these are standard "4mm" wander plugs, so the part containing
the resistor must be about 1" to 1.5" long. There is a 4mm socket in the end and
either a 1k or 10k resistor.

Folks,
I own an EAI TR-10 analog computer which sadly came without any patch
cables and accessories. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, BUT the
TR-10 comes with special resistive plugs which go at the ends of the
patch leads. These have a 4mm plug and socket with a 10k or 100k
resistor in between. I can't figure out a way to easily fabricate
replacements. I can easily obtain 4mm plugs and sockets, and solder a
resistor between them, but when I try and mount them on a short rigid
tube all my efforts fail. The plug and socket need to be twisted in opposite
directions and any soldered joint just fails.
Any usggestions?
Does any one have some of these and if so how are they constructed?

Would you be able to put up some photos of what you have, an original, and
with a ruler included for scale?
