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

[Dave]

The connector does not appear to be Cinch - It appears to an ELCO "Varicon".

I have 2 of the kits available and, time permitting, can build the 
connectors needed from the kits on hand.

I will not have the shells but these kit components bolt together and 
will function without an outer shell.

To be absolutely certain I need to know the pin-to-pin spacing on the 
connector.

Dave, W5WP
