as used on many vintage wah pedals! ;D
anyone knows how these are called and where can i buy them from?
thanks!
I think they're called wire posts. Dunno where you can buy them from, though.
If you're in the UK a search for "PCB Pins" on Maplin's site gets those 1mm posts.
They are called "turret boards", the terminals are simply called turrets.

Though the original poster is talking about something else, turrets (like on amps) are actually not a bad idea.
The actual pins though, everyone used to use them "back in the day", they're typically called wire wrap pins. You can even get wire wrapping tools.
There is room for confusion here.
The traditional 'wire wrap' pins had very sharp square edges, so that the twisted wire was bitten into. there wasn't any solder involved. I used to see people wirewrapping on the train.
On the other hand, there were various pins designed to be soldered to a PCB, and having various ends to facilitate the soldering of wires or components. Everything from simple straight pins, to elaborate forked structures.
there's quite a collection of turret type pins here (keystone electronics)

i have been using the flea clips that smallbear sells for awhile now,..
you also need around a 57-58 size drill bit, and need to squeeze the end of the flea clip to make it fit...
