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

[Gary H. Harmon, Jr.]

One more note......A good friend called me after seeing the pictures I sent
him and said he thinks the Heathkit Mohawk RF deck used an Elco connector.
It was not the same number of connections and I am not aware of the spacing
but it's something else to look into.

- Update

OK all,
	With Nick's catalog page, Bill's pic, and Gary's response from
William Perry, I think it's been nailed down as an Elco.  We should have
removed "Jones" from this thread subject long ago.
	No, if anyone happened to have the Elco kit, which looks like anyone
could use to make up connectors in various configurations, we'd be in good
shape.  Or, if we happened to have several different Elco plugs, we could
disassemble them and make up what we need.
	Looks like Elco had a great idea too bad in didn't catch on.
thanks to all,
