You seem to have an awful lot of "blue-wire" problems ;-)

What's a blue-wire problem?
Patches to fix unanticipated bugs. Called "blue-wire" because it's
common to use blue Teflon jumpers ;-)

More descriptively called 'roach wires' where I come from. IBM used to
call them 'yellow wires' back when you could use wire to run signals in
computers.

That would be back when computers were wired using punch-down blocks
and wire-wrap ?:-)

Phenolic terminal strips and 12AT7s. ;)

I just got a couple of bags of phenolic terminal strips, the kind that
old TV sets used. They are great for breadboarding. They are getting
hard to find these days.
