[ARC5] Special phone jack needed for a friends Stinson L-5

[Taigh Ramey]

Wow that would be great Roy. Any information and photos would be most
helpful. 

It looks like it has three wires but I am betting that one is a strain
relief of some sort.

Thanks,

Taigh

Taigh,

That's a pretty fuzzy picture, but I THINK what it shows is a 1920's-1930's
two conductor right angle phone plug that's made to accept the two metal
tips found on earphone wires.  I have one here (sorry, not for sale) but it
might help to know it's marked "Carter" and looks just like the one in the
picture.  (I can make a good picture of the one here if needed.)

Try playthings of the past:

Go for it!  (Does he have earphones with tips on the wires?)
