[Drake] T/R Relay Plug on AC4

Fri, 19 Apr 2002 19:16:58 -0600

I did exactly the same thing, to control my Hunter Bandit amp.  I used Lexan
and two cut-off drill bits for the pins.  Cut with a hacksaw, and the "cut"
ends are the rough ones, though they could be sanded down.  I use those ends
for the wires.  The wires are wrapped around the pins, then pressed down and a
second slice of Lexan is pushed over that and glued down.  It is sturdy and
makes excellent and reliable contact, and it actually doesn't look too bad,
either.   I have heard there is a Radio Shack TV plug that can be cut in half
and a portion removed, then glued back together and it fits fine, but this
route was the easiest and fastest way.
