Thanks to viewers of my previous video on the Simpson 260 family, (youtube.com/watch?v=eXQLq4X47hk) we've got some nice solutions to the unpopular "reversed-banana" jacks on the Series 7 and 8 versions. First is a banana lead adapter, with a little "mechanical adjustment", and the other is a high quality but low cost lead set from ProbeMaster.

(Be sure to select the model 8013S)
