[Milsurplus] LS-3 Speaker

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Joe,

The correct plug is the PL-68, which later became PL-068.  The cords with 
PL-68 or PJ-068 one end and PL-55 or PJ-055B the other (to work with BC-348 or 
the Phones 2nd Audio jack on BC-312 family) are (at least) CD-267, CD-1117 and 
CX-2481/U.  Cords with PL-68 or PJ-068 both ends (to work with BC-312 family 
using the Speaker 2nd Audio Jack) are CD-214, CD-265 and CD-371.

FWIW, the reason that the LS-3 uses as an input jack the JK-33 3-circuit 
microphone jack is supposedly that it was the service replacement for an earlier 
loudspeaker that was electrodynamic instead of permanent magnet.  And backwards 
compatibility was part of the design requirement.
