I use turn pin 40 position sockets as sacrifice sockets on my fluke pods. Could probably do the same for these. The turn pins don't tend to spring the board sockets.

at some point in time, we are going to need to create replacment pod cables :)
The easiest option is to probably use what Paul Swan came up with (https://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=305211 https://www.oshpark.com/shared_projects/4DNVi8Y0).
The use of IDC type headers for the pins isn't ideal as their dimensions are much larger than what Fluke used and over repeated insertions may damage a socket. I noticed a seller on eBay was using similar to these for the underside of his AVG replacement board (https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/40-600-10/A136-ND/26427). The pin dimension is pretty close to what Fluke used on their probe heads. It looks like Aries makes a more suitable post version rather than a fork (40-600-20) but availability is scant, maybe there is something with better general availability?
