Mine is missing the dyno, of course, and I'd like to power it that way via outboard PSU for the time being. Looks to have slightly larger female banana jacks. The standard banana plugs in my adapter lash up are a tad too small and fit loosely. Get some sparking. On a hunch, I tried a male plug from a hacked and wrecked BC-375. These mate w/the TU's and they are about the right diameter. Any source for these w/o hacking a '375? I may need to get out a torch to melt the solder so I can unscrew them, if not. Need a fume hood for the smoking phenolic...........hakk, koff!

It's always a real crowd pleaser. I'll have mine on display and running this Field Day.

Cheers!

PS: anyone got a spare rear connector, hihi! Mine has several bent pins and one broke off when I tried to straighten it. Wish there was conductive Super Glue. I don't want to drill holes in the back to get the power in (I have an RA-1B that has one nibbled and filed to fit the octal plug for an old PSU thru. You can power the rig thru the pin jacks on the front panel.............?  Go figger.
