does anyone here know a name and
or part number for a female match to this power
connector on the front of the
Hallicrafters TR-9 ?
Hue, I see 3 pins in that
image, correct? If so, I'd say it's not original, as the
photo in the manual shows a 2 pin connector of the Amphenol
80 series that were commonly used as mic connectors by
Heathkit and others. However to avoid having power on
exposed pins, the male is on the radio, meaning the cable
needs to have the female version, which is less common.
On my TR-9 someone resolved
this by substituting the one-pin version of the 80 series
with the outer ring providing the ground contact. Not a
problem given the low current requirement. I didn't get
the cable with it, nor the metal top cover (if anyone has a
spare lying around), so I don't know what the original
cable looked like. Neat little rig!
