Does anyone have one of the patch cables, and can they measure the diameter
of the pin and it's length?
Also, is it a straight pin or like a bannana jack with springy sides?
There is a company www.mill-max.com that makes almost any type of
pin/socket that you can think of -
take a look thru their con-line catalog.

Does anyone have a modern source of pins that fit the socket holes in
the Computer Lab? ISTR there are a few of us here who have an H-500,
but very few, or no, patch cables. I think Molex pins have been tried
and rejected.
Also, the 1969 Computer Lab Handbook is on bitsavers (in
'dec/handbooks'). I recall a 8.5"x11" book on the Computer Lab, newer
layout, probably a 1970s publication date, possibly a teacher's guide.
I was given one as a kid, but it vanished decades ago. Anyone
remember this? Anyone have one for scanning?

I have the Computer Lab Workbook, not Handbook. Maybe that's what you're
looking for.
