Try Cinch Jones plugs and sockets. Mouser stocks them.

If I make an external power supply,
what kind of connectors are good?  I know the
Heathkit supplies used those octal plugs.
I have a transceiver (NCX-5) that uses
a "Jones" plug.

Is there anything at the local Radio Shack or
electrician supply which will do the job?
