[Boatanchors] Re: [Was: Missing hallicrafters SX 88] Junk Box Surprises

Interesting timing for your post.

I was just asked if I had the Jones power connector
for a Clegg FM-27b, to go with the Clegg 011 power
supply I was selling.

I had it in my head that Jones plugs are all square
and rectangular but checked the junk box anyhow.
There in a plastic bag was not one but two of the
things!

I have no idea where they came from but he is now
a happy camper!

BTW:  Is a Ham who goes camping a Hamper?  ;-\
