    Marco.
    I saved (they were being thrown out, because they are old!) quite a few Belling Lee plugs (and sockets).
    When I tested them to find out whether they were silver plated, I was quite amazed at the amount of silver used - heavy plating, although not sure if they were plated on to copper or brass (I would guess copper).

    The plugs have an interesting double "clip"/expansion band? (for want of a better word) to ensure good contact with the socket wall and are ok for soldering.
    The Belling Lee's I have are 4mm diameter and give a secure fit in 4mm sockets.

    The number of them in the job lot would be a bargain for whoever bought them in the auction, not just for originality - they are a bloody good plug.

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    No, but I have access to something rather similar. Strictly for research purposes you understand.
