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

[Rodger Singley]

Dave,

I sent you a direct email hoping to acquire one of these for the HX-500 I am getting ready to restore. 

While on the HX-500 topic one of the contact pairs for this connector is for connecting an external meter to read final cathode current.  It seems odd that both Hammarlund and Hallicrafters were designing amateur gear without a built-in method reading final plate current, maybe looking forward to the "appliance operators" who would appear in the future?

When I restored my Johnson Desk KW I added an external screen current meter in a small box since I wanted that metering function for this high power tetrode final.  Johnson provides metering for total cathode current and control grid current and wants you to assume the plate and screen current components will be apportioned as indicated in the charts which I quickly found wasn't the case.
