[R-390] Info : CV-591A needed

[Tom Norris]

this is a standard "type 97" or "MS" connector. I don't remember the
exact number, but The numbering system is simple enough --
The part you are looking for is most likely an MS3106AXXX S
with the XXX being the number than is on the insert in the mating
chassis plug. I forget the specific number for the insert that you
need to mate to the connector on the 591A, have been a while since
I have had one.

One source for the connectors is www.newark.com, request a
catalog since they have lots of nifty stuff. Don't let the cost of the
connectors scare you, expect to pay about $10-15 for a complete/
new connector. But years from now when CV-591A's are impossible
to find, instead of just difficult like they are now, you will thank yourself
for not snipping the connector off and direct wiring any old AC cord
in there.
