"Rich Carter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim I have a brand new male/female pair of 15 pin Cinch connectors that I bought for another project. Both come with cable shells. The top two rows have pins configured in a vertical orientation and the bottom row has the pins in a horizontal configuration.
I have no burning desire to get rid of the parts, but if you need them, I'll send them out. I can always replace them at the local Ham Radio flea-market this spring. There was a commercial vendor there last fall who had a few boxes of verious size Cinch connectors. I don't remember what I paid for them, but I think it was $25 for the pair. You are welcome to them for that plus shipping; figure $30 total. I think the Drake TR-3 I just bought has 12 pin connectors.
