[Milsurplus] BC-342 Question WAS: Need a female AC socket

[W2HX]

Hey all, just a note to close this quest. I have received said plug and fits great thanks to Larry, W0OGH who came through in spades.

Now a follow up question. There is a plate that says "REMOVE WHEN INSTALLING RECTIFIER" The rectifier is installed. What is the purpose of removing this plate? Is it to add some cooling? Something else?
Thanks
Eugene

Thanks to EVERYONE who replied with help. Seems like I have a very nice selection of options to explore further. Between some folks have offering to check their stock, some NOS that might exist at hardware stores and even some modern options, I should be all set!

Thanks again everyone!
Eugene
Now to find some TCS power cables!

Hi friends,

I acquired a nice BC-342-N. I need a female AC plug to mate with it (see here):

Anyone got one? If not anyone know what I should search for?
Thanks!
