I just acquired a box of Command Set connectors on a swap deal.  The 
majority are SCR-274-N open wire style (PL-xxx-A.  Unfortunately, all of the WW-II 
12-pin and 18-pin appear to be PL-154-A and PL-153.A.  However, there are 
also some of the A.R.C. Type 12 connectors including some 19-pin ones that 
can be turned into an A.R.C. 9585 or 6962 equivalent.  One thing that none of 
us who mentioned converting 19-pin connectors  to 18 mentioned is that on 
all of the WW-II vintage, the contacts are numbered.  On the 19-pin's, they 
are lettered.  So anyone going to wire one of them would be advised to make up 
a simple conversion chart before beginning.

M = 1
B = 2
C = 3
etc.
S = 18

There are also a fair number of chassis males (again ATA or SCR-274-N) if 
someone has a rack or etc. missing connectors.
