[Milsurplus] I need a connector

Hi surplus aficionados,

I have an old RA-1B  Bendix receiver. This unit covers 150 kc to 15 Mc. 
I have it almost completely restored, but do not have the power input 
connector.  It is P3 Bendix # AA309-1, a six pin plug that is about 
1.125" inside diameter.  I am looking for a real plug to allow me to 
hook the radio up to my home built AC power supply. I do not have any 
other peripheral equipment such as the dynamotor PS or remote control 
box.  For now, I just want to have the set operational and look just as 
it did in 1937.  My set works pretty well on all bands and sensitivity 
is in the range of 1 microvolt. I can barely detect a 0.1 microvolt CW 
signal.  It will make a great broadcast band receiver.

Please let me know if you have one of those old 6 pin connectors.

Thanks

Dave K1WHS
