Why do people propagate misinformation like this. Just because you aren't aware of a solution, doesn't mean there isn't a commonly understood one.
I trust you've never been wrong about anything, ever. I thought the King adapter (the only one I've ever seen) is out of production and had been for a number of years. I wasn't able to get one for a customer about five years ago, and assumed there wasn't a sudden resurgence in the market for 1-1/4 adapters. My apologies if I was mistaken.
