[ARC5] Rear BC plug

[Robert Downs]

No.  The only known female connector for the male connector on the rear deck of the Command receivers is the one on the bottom of the various receiver dynamotors.  However, if the receiver is not installed in a rack, or if you are just powering up the receiver to work on it, There is a source for the 7-pin plug for the rear of the receivers.  Find an already junked out or even stripped receiver chassis from an "A" suffix receiver (most if not all "B" suffix ones don't have all of the pins).  For some reason, I never can recall which is which but one stripped "A" receiver chassis plus 6 Pomona mini-banana pins will yield 3 connectors for the receivers and ATA and SCR-274-N transmitters and 3 connectors that will fit the AN/ARC-5 transmitters.  Three originally plugged into the IF cans and three into the RF coil rack.  You will have to drill the center hole for the HV mini-banana pin.

Just don't forget that one of the three dynamotor plug pins will have 250 VDC on it.

Is there a standard plug that will fit the 3 power pins? I am currently using individual miniature banana plugs which are ok, I�m just looking for improvement in wiring.
