[Collins] Collins 51J-4 Connectors - Thanks for info

[Kurt Brandstetter]

Hello from Vienna !

Thank you all for the lot of info I got from you dealing with my question
about 3 connectors on the rear of my Collins 51J-4.

The summary is (I repeat here what EA2IG wrote to me):
 
The Diode Load, and the AGC connector are quiet usuall in the 51J-4, as
I have seen in many pictures of theses receiver. This info I got in several
emails.

The third one is a Antenna connector to use this receiver with other
equipment with german conectors like the Telefunken Multicoupler. ( I
have one, the V-1106 wich have one input, and them outputs with theses
conectors - said EA2IG). This connector is a VHF connector that was used by
German manufacturers for servicing or video equipment also.

The connector on my 51J-4 is original (I have testet it and looked inside)
and its a 2nd antenna connector parallel to the SO-239 for RF antenna input.

It looks like this connector was made for some export models by Collins,
especially for the use in Europe. The 51J-4 I own comes from the Austrian
Army and they owned quite a lot of them I think.

The pictures of these connectors are still available for taking a look at
them at:

Let me say "Thank you" to all of you who helped me to inform me so quick.
I thought I'll post this summary because the 2nd antenna connector seems to
be not well known in the states, but it seems to be an "original export
modification". The male connectors that fits I have from the Austrian
Broadcasting Corporation ROI where they where used for video purposes and
they where manufactured by Rhode & Schwarz / R&S in Munich. Also a signal
generator made by a former German company "Neuwirth" in Hannover (now owned
by R&S) I own is fitted with these connectors. Thats a really good signal
generator and I'll put some pictures from it on my homepage as soon I have
some time. Its very exact and well built equipment. I think they where
"handmade" and only some 100s of them were manufactured.

Thanks again for your help.
