Determining plug size for SW radio power jack
I have a Sony protable SW receiver for which I would like to build a
power supply. Trouble is determining the size of the plug needed. Since I only have the jack portion (in the radio) it's a bit hard to measure. I see the jack is yellow, aren't these color coded? If so, where can I find the corresponding mm size for a yellow jack? TIA Dan |

Ask in a Radio Shack? That's one question they MIGHT be able to answer. N |

Franc-Not sure if it is or not. Looks like I'm going to have to measure
the jack. The list of sizes in yout link will help me determine the likely plug from those available, thanks.
