Coil-Spring Connection Terminals

[Jeff L]

I am looking for some coil-spring connection terminals, such as those
found on childrens' electronic project kits from Radio Shack. Does
anyone have a website and item number link where I could go to order
some?

Thanks,
Jeff

They are called "Fahnstock" Clips. They were popular when people used to
build their own radios! Those were mostly crystal radios then.
www.tubesandmore.com used to sell them, I did a quick search but could not
find them. Good luck!

try a well equiped hardware store. They'll stock a variety of springs.
I get most of mine out of scrap parts.
Old remotes or flashlights work well for some springs.
