Need a Source for Bantam Patchbays to Christmas Tree Blocks.

Yep I know people hate these things, but I am so sick of amateurs and
fools thinking they can mess with my patch bays. I figure these things
will keep the faint of heart away. Plus the connections are earthquake
proof solid.

I Need a Source for Bantam Patchbays to 6 point Christmas Tree
Blocks, wired with 100 Ohm cable ( Belden 1800B) and also a source
for the the 'strapping wire' for jumpering the normals. ( It's the 3
colour wire, Green black and white that is braided for running normals
from one block to the next )


thanks

Switchcraft and ADC both still have them in the catalogues. They aren't
cheap, but they are solid as a rock.

Personally, I'd suggest skipping the christmas tree blocks and just
using solder lugs, soldering everything into place. It's cheaper and
there is less to go wrong. It's more convenient until you want to
re-organize the racks and then of course it's a disaster to rewire...
