Hi Bill!

You might want to check with NAS Interplex to see what they can do for you.
Look at this page at: http://www.nasinterplex.com/products.html and you'll
see a picture of a LCCC that has been converted into a "J" leaded part
through the use of their products. You can do it yourself or have them do it
for you.

Werner has spoke numerous times about the unreliability of LCCC's...you need
compliant leads with this device or risk reliability problems...
