[Yaesu] FT one Power Plug

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

That's not the connector pictures in the FT-ONE manual that I 
downloaded. I've extracted the connector connections and picture from 
the Yaesu manual and attached it. I presume the list will remove it so 
I've copied this message direct to Alan and Dave.

Either the factory did it differently or someone has changed the 
connector already. So we have NO idea what fits. Molex made a 4 pin in 
line in two different sizes, and the pins used in the modern 6 pin 
radios is in between those sizes. Icom used one of those for this 
function on radios the vintage of the IC-211. Then there's the four pin 
for vintage floppy and hard drive power, and the 4 pin Amp MateNlock 
used for decades by Tentec.

To do any more help we need a picture or two of the connector with a 
ruler along side for dimensions. From that maybe we can work out a 
vendor and part number. Or it might prove more expedient to acquire one 
chassis mount male and two cable mount females of some connector family 
that will take 12 gauge wire and rework it again.
