[Boatanchors] tip jack adapter

[Dick KF4NS]

I have a unique one (I think) that was my original Trimm Featherweight 
used at my first Navy duty station after radio school, a destroyer, 
that has a rubber case with holes at the end to fit the pins and set 
screws on the side as well as slots in the side for quick connect of 
the headphone pins if desired. The plug itself is brass. The cable is 
made with an extra piece of lacing that fits into an eyelet on the 
plug top between the pin holes to protect the headphone cord when the 
ship took a quick 40deg roll due to a  big swell and dumped you out of 
your chair at your operating position, onto the deck and rather rudely 
ripped the headphones off your head before you could say oh s---t. Of 
course the other guy kept sending and you had to right yourself 
quickly and try to get caught up with the mil whose carriage slammed 
to the return end. Of course then you operated on your knees until you 
got a chance to find and right your chair. Oh the joys of riding those 
bucking broncos, or also known as surface submarines.
