There is an old Vulcan saying: "Only Nixon could go to China."
I will buy a set and see how it goes. I also believe there are some probes
that are designed to clip over a whole IC, any recommendations for those? I
did try using one once but it was designed to be used in conjunction with
grabber clips and it was so fiddly that I gave up, so I am wondering if
there is something better.
Thanks

DIP clips? They can be found, but since DIPs are mostly considered
obsolete they are pretty pricey these days. Watch on ePay - I picked up a
raft of them from some company closing its service department (cheaper just
to throw things away). The grey plugs that fit into the end of the pods
have a connector that fits over an individual pin - they work great on
wire-wrap pins! - and those can be attached to the DIP clip before you
clamp the clip on the IC. There have been a couple of times I've had every
single pod in play, each connected to one or even two DIP clips. -- Ian
Be very careful if you take a pod apart, there is
a delicate ceramic
hybrid
circuit inside.
