Weren't Augat machine-pin sockets available back

using them around 1977 or so. Expensive buggers then.
They were available. And expensive.
I used to have a "Eur-apple][" in which all the sockets had been replaced

owner's futile attempts to convert it to a USA Apple][.
But, Apple always used single-wipe POS sockets. The worst ones available.
