parts connexion is good but they just double the price and charge shipping on the stuff they import from China that is otherwise found on ebay.

Teflon composite - interesting. 

 

Any experience with gold versus silver plating? I used silver once for something I built years ago, which later resulted in green corrosion at the solder joint. I suspected it was because I didn't use silver bearing solder, I think I found that if you use silver plated components you have to use solder with trace silver (1% or something), which I don't have anymore. Any rate I like gold as it doesn't tarnish like silver. Thoughts?

 

PS. Not finding any on eBay at the moment.

Just use your own words - 9 pin Teflon.

 

teflon cmc 9 pin

 

Yes I saw those but I believe they are chassis mount. Spot checking they all mention chassis mount only

So are you saying these also will work in the KGST PC mount?

I did wonder what he meant by that, Parts Connection has the PC mount I'm used to (older style with leaf flanges) which is what I thought he was talking about. 

 

Well thanks for all the help, learned something new and saved myself some money.
