I have just one pair of test leads, probe type, for my Simpson Series 7 VOM I want to get a better set. Where can I find them? The pair I have are not banana plugs but pins. I have looked over what is out there and I have not found a set like these. I am, no doubt, looking at the replacements but I am unsure so I want to touch bases before I purchase any.

The made-for-military by Elwyn Inc 6625-01-121-0510 are a very sweet set of leads and come with pretty much all the ends you could want. (And because of how they're designed, you can put bananas on one end and pin-jack pins on the other, if you wanted to.)
I have a set myself, and I've given thought to picking up another 2 sets just because they're so awesome.
I bought mine at a hamfest, guy had a whole crate of them. There's usually a few on ebay, don't pay more than about $35 though.

You can watch ebay..... Be very choosy.....
I was looking for a set like the ones that came with my Beckman, and a few pair showed
up on ebay, so I got 2, they had like 20.... They sat for a long time, I got my 2, someone
else got one, and another.... By the time we all got our shipments, most must
have gone back to get more, once people saw the quality they were gone fast....
Good stuff does show up, you just gotta make it a point to watch consistently for
a little while.... It usually pays off...

Done! purchased 2 brand new sets of the Elwyn Inc 6625-01-121-0510 test leads for $40 dollars. Thanks I never would have known about this set exactly what I was looking for. :D

I have the model 7 also, I found that a pair of red and black or black and yellow alligator test leads work great, try it you will like it. :banana:

I have these leads as well, watch the auction site, they come up cheaper from time to time. I just got two sets for $15.99 plus postage.

If you ever get in a bind for more leads you can make them out of loctal vacuum tube pins. I have had a couple of pieces of vintage test equipment that uses those and someone suggested this idea. It worked fine for me.
