[Heathkit] Re: Replacement cord for SB-303 receiver..??

Heathkit did not only use the 3pin plug on the SB-303 but it was used on
their digital readout frequency counters, etc.

Of course, everyone knows that and I am probably adding nothing new to the
discussion.  I would agree that the plug/cords are difficult to locate.
