Hi Didier,
I just had a look in mine, and it uses plain old TI sockets. They may, or
may not be gold (I didn't look that carefully). My unit is S/N 2217A01399,
so it sits in the middle of your two units.
I know that my unit is special (because it is mine, of course ;-), but I just
don't think it is all *that* special. I have seen the same TI sockets used on
so many different instruments --I would bet more than half the stuff in my
shop has them-- They seem to work more often than not.
