I followed Garey’s suggestion on his website for the pins and from his email, realize the brass tubing is 3/32”, not 3/16”

Just last week I made a cable with two homemade vox plugs on either end to connect an AC-4 to an L-4B. The plugs fit and work perfectly. Here are the steps I used:

 

1-       buy 3/16” brass tubing from a hobby store

2-       cut ¾” sections of the tube with a Dremel chucked with a cut-off wheel

3-       sand one end of the pins slightly rounded

4-       solder a wire into the other end of each pin

5-       cut a piece of plexiglass to 3/8” x ¾”

6-       drill two 3/16” holes in the plexiglass spaced the correct distance apart

7-       insert the two pins into the holes – the rounded ends of the pins should stick out about a half inch

8-       tape a 2.5” strip of electrical tape around the perimeter of the plexiglass base – the wires will be sticking out

9-       clamp the base in a vice and pour 5 minute epoxy into the area contained by the electrical tape

10-   wait for epoxy to dry

11-   remove electrical tape

12-   enjoy!

I am trying to locate the 2 pin plug that fits the vox relay jack on the back of the AC-4.  Can anyone help me?  Also, which side is ground?

 

Thanks,

 

George
