If you need cables for an HG-70 like I did, there is a company in PA that
made mine up for me with the nicopressed ends installed on both sizes of the
cables. If you drop me a note off line I will look for their contact

Hi Russwll
The answer to your question is YES.
I bought a set for my LM354. One fit perfectly, the second was WAY too long
and I had to shorten it.
At the time the cables were ordered in Sept. and arrived the next May!
