[Boatanchors] Need Jones Plug for Hammarlund HX-500 Transmitter - Update

[Dave Brown]

How about a picture of the socket?
Cutting down a larger plug has already been suggested but a picture would 
still assist re selection of one to work on.  As a point of interest, 20/30 
years back, the local market here in ZL  had lots of asian sourced look 
alikes with many that had odd pin configurations but otherwise, to a cursory 
glance, were a jones type plug/socket combo.  But they were not, and no way 
would they interchange with the real thing.
