Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I've a old style plug connected to my antenna rotator.

It's 8 x spade contacts 6 in -line and the end 2 are 90 degrees ,(this controls the polarity) it's housed in a tin case with little cable clamps at the end . These were used often in old radios and military equipment.. The plug spades are fully open ,(not like todays plug pins)..

I wonder if any of you remember these and can shed some light on a brand name or a source for purchasing.. I've looked in rs catalogue, jaycar, dick smith --no luck..

Thanks

Bruce

I think you may be looking for a Jones cinch plug; in the US anyway.
