Mark,

Thanks for the info. What is the URL for the ARC-5 reflector: I see that there is an ARC-5/SCR-274N Facebook group.

Hi Matt

Standalone connectors like you want are very difficult to come by.     Here are some ideas.

Steve KC4WN (eBay ID kb4dmf).    Steve posted last April (on the ARC-5 reflector) that he acquired all of Bill Perry's ARC-5 connectors.    Steve's email is swkb4dmf@windstream.net, or search for "SCR-274N" on ebay and you'll see connectors sold by "seller kb4dmf".   Quite a few of us have purchased from him and he's a reliable seller.  

Send a post to the ARC-5 reflector.  Most people on that reflector are also on this one, but you never know.

Steve may be able to help with the rack connectors,  but the connectors for the back of the transmitter and receiver may be a different story.

When the rear connectors were removed "back in the day" and replaced with octal jacks they were trashed as nobody back then figured anyone would want them in 2023 AD.   With hamfest season coming up,  I suggest you look for ratted out junker units;  some may still have the original rear jacks.

After cleaning up my FT-233-A Single Receiver Rack and FT-234-A Single Transmitter Rack, I am on the hunt for the bulkhead jacks that mate with the rears of the SCR-274N Receivers and Transmitters. Both of these racks had the original jacks removed with the one on the 234 being replaced with an Octal plug and no jack on the 233. Would anyone on the list have either of these jacks floating around in your junk boxes? I also have a couple of SCR-274N Transmitters that have had their rear jacks replaced with Octal plugs and would like to return them to their original configuration as well.
