Does anybody know of a source for Winchester connectors?  They seem to be rare and very expensive these days.  I found some of the plug in pins at a price of $35 each.  I used to get them for a couple of dollars.

These are for a pre-premium receiver, a National Radio R1490/GRR-17.  I've had it around for several years, and read a RadCom article recently on past technology which discussed it.  The article mentioned the fact that it uses a parametric upconversion mixer which the article claimed was nearly the ideal mixer.  So I thought I would get it working and see.
