[Hallicrafters] Hallicrafters HA-5 connector

[Glen Zook]

Back when 300-ohm twinlead was very popular for television antennas, there were a number of connectors made that just happened to fit the FT-243 crystal socket.  However, those are pretty hard to find these days.

Many people just use a real FT-243 crystal holder the frequency of which was not useful for amateur radio operation.

Good and gentle folks,
I've gotten my old novice station up but now I'm working on an HA-5 VFO.  I
saw a plug to connect the HA-5 to the crystal socket of the HT-40 but I'm no
longer able to find the source. Does anyone have a suggestion as to where I
could find such a connector or the proper search term for it. I saw it, I
think, on eBay but now can find none.
