[ARC5] Power plug for BC-453-B

[MICHAEL ST ANGELO]

Bruce,


I would be interested in the mechanical drawing. You can use the dimensions of the Pomona Jack to find the proper brass tubing.

One of those plus a connector salvaged from a gutted ARA or SCR-274-N (-A suffix only) will make a plug that fits the connector on the rear of the receivers and all but the AN/ARC-5 transmitters (for the ARC-5 ones, use one of the IFT plugs)..
