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.
If I cut them with a saw I end up with a gap. SuperGlue does not gap fill. I am kind of
leaning towards casting resin....

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 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?
Dave
Ah, ok, now I get it. Could you use two of the banana jack barrels, cut in half
(machine them would be better) so that they can be contrarotated, then
superglue or solvent glue the seam when tightened against eachother?
Steve.
