I am forwarding this. Perhaps some reader here can direct him to a source 
for these
connectors so he does not have to remove the original equipment connectors.

Hello Everyone,

I am restoring a WW2 Collins TCS12 radio and need help!  I am looking for 
anyone that might have or know where I can get the canon connectors used on 
the transmitter, receiver, control unit, and power supply.  Please see below 
for the part numbers needed for the cables and connectors used with the 
radio.
By the way,  I have the original Navy Manual Instruction Book (Restricted), 
dated November 1942, about 2 inches thick full of information on the TCS 
radio and all Accessories: i.e. schematics, drawings, mounting 
configurations, cables, power supplies used, and much more.  If you need any 
information from this book, please let me know and I will digitally copy and 
send it to you.  Please don’t ask for the complete book, it would be too 
many pages to scan and I don’t really have the best scanning equipment on 
hand, etc.
Thank you,Kevin L
Gilroy, A
