I got a new power connector (Amphenol 164-44FS) from Fair last year.
Also got a couple of used audio output connectors (U-77/U).
If you want the matching mobile speaker, it's an LS-166/U, but it will sound
like what you would expect a 3 1/2" waterproof speaker to sound like. If you
can find a ratty LS-166/U, at least you'll have the connector which you can
connect to a speaker more suitable for home use. A matching xfmr will be
required for a low impedance speaker. I'm using a Hallicrafters R-46. Label
says it's 500 ohms input- sounds good.
