[Milsurplus] USA RU receiver connector wanted

Ben, I seem to recall the connector number is 233, but I don't want to look for my RUGF manual now. Can you verify that is the connector?
I should have plenty of these. 
For the chassis plug, "maybe". I don't think I kept any RU junkers. Next week, I can go look thru my stuff for both. 

BTW, since the RU is so broad tuning, I am wondering how it worked out for the long range CW liaison role. People find it unusable now on HF.
The only thing I can think is that in CW mode, it somehow acts as a direct-conversion receiver, so the bandwidth is audio-limited, but it seems that
DC operation would require rebiasing of the detector to not detect AM in the absence of the HFO note? 
BTW also, this is the only way I could think of, to make it usable on HF: to rebias the detector as a product detector.

>Looking for the multipin connector, chassis-mounted plug, that goes on the front of the RU series of receivers. 
Also, the line sockets that fits it but the chassis mount is the important bit, someone thought fit to remove the one on my RU-19 set. 
Thanks, Ben.
