[Milsurplus] BC-474 lookalike accessories

[David Stinson]

There is an old BUDD headphone connector
that accepts those pins, secured under screws.
You can turn the headphones into standard
plug without removing the pins and dealing
with that cursed tinsel-wire.  If you can give
me a little time, I'll see if I can dig one out
of "The Cave" and send it to you.
