Go to Digikey, Allied electronics, or similar supplier. If you look on
the base flange or somewhere on the connector you'll see a part number that
starts with "MS" or something like that. Call up the supplier and tell them
what you have and they'll set you up.
If not, give me the number and I'll see what I can do as far as finding
you a mating part number.
There's a couple outfits out there, and I can't remember the names, that
specialize is old and obsolete military style connectors. I say military
style only because they started them, and they're actually used in many,
many industries.

| I own a few Harris AM-7223 amplifiers (military surplus). I want to

| out. I am looking for the most practical way of making a jury-rigged
| power cable for this unit at low cost. I already know which pin is
| ground, which is neutral, and which is hot. The question is, what is
| the most practical way of connecting a power cable.
|
| I found this on some website: ``J-1 is the power jack. Pin P is
| Ground. Pin J is Hot. Pin A is Common. If you look on the inside of
| the jack you will see the Green, Black and White wires going to these
| pins J .''
|
| I have a few options:
|
| 1. Open the unit and put in a power cable with ring terminals through
| a ventilation in the unit and connect ring terminals to the proper
| inside terminals. That will make a perfectly well working, although
| not very sightly, unit.
|
| 1a. Remove the round cord receptacle and put in a wooden plug with a
| hole in the center, and the power cord would go through it (instead of
| through ventilation holes).
|
| 2. Solder a power cable to the connector pins. Also unsightly and also
| rather decent.
|
| 3. Custom make a real plug. I would not mind doing it, all it requires
| is a piece of insulating material of necessary diameter (would wood
| work?), a template, and a drill press (which I have). Then I somehow
| need to insert little tubes to go over the pins, seems like a lot of
| hassle.
|
|
| I am tempted to go with option number 1 or 1a for simplicity and
| reliability, but want to get some opinions.
|
| thanks!
