Why is it that almost every piece of test equipment sells on EBAY without
leads. Does everyone throw them away!

I bought a mint Sencore VC93 VCR analyzer..No leads..I Contacted Sencore and
damned near died when they gave me the prices. Got the VC93 for about $50
and the leads at Sencore are OVER $300 US !!!

Think about it. The equipment is no longer in use. It is stored for a
while, then sold, or a business goes under and the assets are auctioned
off. No one takes the time to find the probes and cables because
everything is sold or auctioned off "AS IS". Also, a lot of shops will
damage or lose a probe or cable and not replace it. they have newer
equipment, so they sell off the old stuff, "AS IS".

Make your own!

I have no problem making my own, except in the case of the VC93 (VCR
analyzer) they've got a one of a kind receptacle for two of the leads. The
rest is BNC or banana plugs.

Sometimes a connector that does not look like the original desired

one can be modified with some ingenuity, other times the "wierd"
connector that has no match / matching cable can be replaced with
something available - even if that means "ratting out" the wierd
connector because it was riveted, soldered or welded in.
