If you're wanting a panel mounted female BNC connector, let me know. I can mail you a couple for the
price of postage as I have zillions of parts around here.

You might check out part no. 105-0302-001 on Mouser's website. Their
datasheet gives the dimensions. Sounds like what you are looking for. I
have something similar on an old Monarch VOM.
Good luck,
Ken

Thanks to E.V.E.R.Y.O.N.E. who answered the call. So many suggested making my own by drilling some metal to fit the mounting hole pattern and then drilling a hole in the center for a threaded bnc connector. This was a hugely common idea (great minds think alike apparently!)
But the winner of this idea was Mr. Craig Smith who pointed to OHR.COM - they actually make the adapter plate for just this very purpose! Who woulda thunkit? For those mildly interested, here it is:
Go here and check around the middle of the page: "SO-239 to BNC Conversion Kit"
http://ohr.com/parts.htm
And only $7.50 for two instead of $30 from pasternack! That is good economics! Probably couldn't make myself for that price with any kind of quality.
Thanks again EVERYONE!

Yes, and OHR sells SA602's for $4.95 when you can buy them for $1.22 in quantity one from Avnet Express (avnetexpress.avnet.com/) Such a deal.

I am fixing up a ''butchered'' Heathkit SB-220 for a friend and still need a
couple of parts.---- the coupling used for the Bandswitch (Heath # 456-16)
and the 50 mH RF Plate choke(Heath #45-61)
The bandswitch shafts are 1/4'' dia and have flats on both sides---
Haethkit used a coupling that has these flats to make sure that the switch
segments get properly indexed.--in an ordinary coupling with just the round
1/4'' hole ,the setscrews, by themselves, do not necessarily provide
reliable indexing.
Where can I buy or find these ''animals''--
tnx fr ur help.---73 de Olaf,KF4TP---
