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?

Are you trying to screw them into a tube? Could you instead push them
in and then fill the tube with epoxy or potting compound through a hole
in the side?
Could you make the tube in two short lengths, with a left-hand thread
between them; screw the plug into one part and then screw the socket
into the other while also screwing the two parts of the tube together?
Could you use a split (lengthways) tube, solder the resistor to the plug
and socket, and fit the tube on with epoxy?
Or if it doesn't need to be absolutely rigid, mould some Sugru round the
parts instead of using the tube?

I may not follow your meaning here. Can't you just leave patch connections
loose as long as the ends of connection is secure? My Donner 3500 for
example has required improvisation.

I think this type of solution is the way its going but its not very neat compared with the
ones in the link below.
I was actually trying to use the sleeve that came with the plug and then push the socket
in the end.

I think I might manage using a longer tube and flexible hook up wire.

That would work...

Rigid is best as you need to fit a plug in the end and then plug it into the patch
panel..

The TR-10 has no input resistors in its OP Amps. You need to put them in the ends of the
cables as needed.
It?s a cludge but it makes converting an op amp to an integrator simpler...

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 any to show you, but I do remember that some of these
banana plugs used an un-threaded barrel, employing a small (head-less)
screw on the side that threaded into the top of the plug fixture. In
the long run, probably better, as they could not be unscrewed by
twisting on the barrel.

I don't think so. Vacuum tubes (or valves if you will) are
high-impedance devices. Those resistors are likely in the tens and
hundreds of kilohms.

That?s about the best method, but there is not much room for extra lead to push back into
the plug...

Actually, super glue does gap fill. Use the thick stuff and sprinkle
baking
soda

on the glue after applying. It will set rock hard
instantly.
The plastic model crowd use this for gap filling instead of putty
sometimes.
That the stuff they call Gorilla Glue or is that something else?

Gorilla Glue is polyurethane I
think. I mean the thick viscosity type of
cyanoacrylate glue you can buy for instance in hobby shops, like this

It doesn't really matter which brand, what you want is cyanoacrylate and
not the runny kind. Any decent shop selling models should have it, or a
Games Workshop store (I think it is the preferred glue for building
Warhammer figures).
