Hi R-390X owners,

I noticed a recent thread on 9 pin plugs/headers, and a few suggestions
on how to kludge them up using tube sockets and extender wires.
I may have a better solution.

A while back a local surplus electronics outfit had a bin with lots
of bakelite 9 pin plugs, complete with screw-on bakelite cover,
as in "plug for a cable which won't get moved very often.

I'm using these for the diodes I used to "soiled state" the 26Z5s
in my 390A, and also to provide a bypass for the ballast, since I'm
using 12BA6s for the PTO and BFO.


So what's my point? I want to see how much interest R-390X owners
might have in these plugs/headers before I drive over to see if they
have any remaining. Cost would be moderate; shipping would probably
be more expensive. If you're interested in maybe five 9 pin plugs
at reasonable cost, please let me know. <gfgitz34 @ gitznet. net>
