The easiest option is to probably use what Paul Swan came up with
(https://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=305211

The use of IDC type headers for the pins isn't ideal as their
dimensions are much larger than what Fluke used and over repeated
insertions may damage a socket.     I noticed a seller on eBay was
using similar to these for the underside of his AVG replacement board
(https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/40-600-10/A136-ND/26427).
The pin dimension is pretty close to what Fluke used on their probe
heads.  It looks like Aries makes a more suitable post version rather
than a fork (40-600-20) but availability is scant,  maybe there is
something with better general availability?
