[Collins] AC power Cord

[Al Parker]

Hi Lee & folks,
    Get in touch with Joel Knobloch, at The R F Connection
http://www.therfc.com/
    He had some made up a yr or so ago, gave me a sample to try.  It worked
out fine on my 516F-2.  It has the heavier wire, molded in 3-pin plug, and
the proper gray for Collins.  No connection between me and Joel other than
he's a good supplier and has always treated me as a friend.  I've bought
from him a number of times.  He makes most of the 'fests along the east
coast, I spoke/bought with him ystdy at Raleigh, NC.
