?You should ask John Nery (WA1ESO) for a set of 8640B extenders. He is selling sets for specific instruments on the big platform or directly at avery reasonable price. These are sold as kits (connectors not soldered or only a couple of contacts soldered. Don't ask how I know =D : having been the proud ownnder of my first set years ago, I found an instrument partially working with the PCA fully inserted but was wondering why it completely stopped working with the card sitting on the externder. To my defense, I must say that it was in the middle of the night, and a couple of minutes later Johns remark in his e-mail pooped into my mind... John is a very nice guy and he has helped me even with special requests about extenders for exotic hp instruments.
John made a custom connector for LSSM not long ago, for a Varian 620 minicomputer. It needed some cleanup (copper whiskers from the milling process) but it gets the job done.
