Joe,
Thanks for the great info.
Thanks. I've done more reading and foudn oput that my description isn't exactly right but it will do for now. James Marous was kind enough to send me a manual for the 5006A which I will be scanning over the next couple days. In it, I saw some expanded views of all of the parts and now understand what you were talking about :) It looks like all I need are the 5 grabbers and a single wire (which I assume connects to the main probe?). If it's the wire that connects to the side of the probe then it's a ground wire. The wire on the big pod that has the upside down T symbol is also a ground so you don't HAVE to have the second ground wire even though you should. The ground wire on the probe has a small socket at both ends so you may have to make one out of two standard wires. Or just cut the large pin off of one standard wire and solder that end to the grabber. That's what I did. Could you point me to a specific place to get these? That SkyCraft store didn't appear to have a web page. Check on E-bay. There's are always people on there selling the grabbers. Or buy an old cheap logic analyzer pod that has the wires and grabbers and swipe the wires and grabbers from it. You could also look around in surplus stores. They often end up with the small stuff getting seaparated from the main units and they sell the stuff separately instead of trying to match it up with the unit that it came from. Grabbers go for about $.50 to $.75 each at the local store. Joe
Thanks, Jon

Do you have the wires on your pod or does it just have sockets? The wires have a small female socket on one end and a large male pin on the other. You can use the small female socket directly on wire wrap pins, header pins and the like or you can use "grabbers" with them. The wires and grabbers from the HP 5001 MicroProcessor Exerciser and the HP 1600, 1601, 1607, 1610 & 1615 logic analyzers will fit. The grabbers are also interchangeable with the ones from the Gould and some other brands of Logic Analyzers. Most of them have a hole with a single male pin inside. The wire pushes onto the pin and the grabbers are similar to the E-Z hooks. You can usually find the wires and grabbers in electronics surplus stores, I got piles of them from SkyCraft in Orlando.
