  But you know these ones won't work properly don't you?

  The haven't had the requisite proportions of fairy dust and pseudo-science sprinkled over them. Just Kidding :-)

  I won't be buying any from any source, primarily because of the WAF, and the lack of a separate audio room.

  I went to a restaurant that serves "breakfast at any time". So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance.

  You can buy these all day long on eBay for US$5 a piece.

  Just search for "pin insulator".

    Thanks. I'll look it up on ebay.

    I was wondering if the dealers get these and sell them back with markup price...

      I lucked out though, they were $7 a piece or so but when 1 shipment arrived they were broken pretty bad...the seller sent me all new ones and i'm still using the old ones. ultimately i bought 7 of 'em for under $50.

      they came from the Badger Army Ammo plant in Wisconsin.

        Is this the one you're talking about?
        http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6282408441&ssPageName=MERC_VI_RUPX_Pr4_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT&refitem=6282408354&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=active_view_item&usedrule1=UpSell_LogicX&refwidgettype=cross_promot_widget

        
        Do you have their direct website ? I don't have ebay account so i like to buy direct though. However, i don't like its color... so painting job is required..:)

        thanks.

          That is a good example of a ceramin pin insulator, but the ones I purchased were from the US Army. Up north in Wisconsin a humongous ammo plant closed down and they sold off what was valuable.

          Last time i bought these was 4 months ago, not sure if they are still selling them.

          There should be dozens of these listings on ebay, search ceramic insulator also.

          The ones I bought were over 6" tall too, there are many difft styles.

          Spend some time looking and you'll see some of these are rare and collectible. One sold for $1800 on ebay when i bought one that looked similar for $5.

          try and buy several from a good seller, save on shipping....these things get heavy.

          i think the one you are looking at is 4" tall and that thick wire on it? Often incredible difficult to remove...thick wire that hasn't been bent in decades.
