I did, these guys have a better profit margin then a dope dealer.

One of the only things I have seen in this audiofool stuff I like are
the connectors. There is an RCA style connector that incorporates a
tighting ring which screws down over the outside ears on the male RCA
connector to clamp them down over the chassis mount female plugs outer
contact. They insure a tight contact and you have to unscrew the lock
ring to get them off.  they are something like 15 dollars each.  I
would use these connectors for old radios such as the SB-200 Heathkit
Amp which uses an RCA plug for the RF input from the exciter, I
understand the Collins 30L1 uses a similar set up.

I didn't like this setup on My SB-200 Heathkit having a RCA connector
come loose while key down is not cool so I changed the input on my
SB-200 to a BNC. The chassis mount BNC I used fits perfectly right in
the original hole the RCA connector was in, much better.
