Hi Eddy:
It woudl work but only with modification. the 243 holder pin spacing is
too wide. One would have remove a pin and move it in. Not sure about
the pin diameter.
I have one here I can measure up.
The FT243 has the correct diameter pins at .094" but the pin spacing is
.486". Might be a pain to get the pin out to move it but it would be a
usable base for sure.

Hi Guys,
Y'know, it's been awhile since I looked at this, but it struck at one time
that a defunct FT-243 crystal holder might make a fine "Bubba" plug for this
application...
I got distreacted with other stuff at the time, and put the project way up
on the back-burner---maybe I should re-examine the whole thing once again.

Subject: Re: [Drakelist] Amplifier Connector for AC4
Hi Kevin:
THe solution most seen recommended is to make up a plug using some hobby
copper tubing and a small pc of plexiglass. But that is perhaps not
possible with limited vision.
The simplest is to just forget the connector and run a pair of wires
into the AC4..OR pick those points up at the connector an the back of
the T4x. It is simply a contact closure on an isolated set of contacts
on the TR relay that was cabled over to the AC4. If you use a DC
operated relay and one side can be grounded, the two pin recept on the
AC4 can be replaced with a RCA phono jack.
The original plug, shipped with the T4x is a simple two pin plug ..pins
are .094" dia and the center-center spacing is .343"
It is possible to re-work a standard 300 ohm twinlead coupler by moving
one of the pins to the right spacing.

Hi All,
I just put my T4XC on the air with a refurbished AC4 but want to drive
my L7 with it. I am given to understand the connector for the amp
relay is an odd ball you can't find anywhere. I am totally blind and
soldering things for me is very difficult. Does anyone on the list
have one of these connectors you might sell or another really simple
solution?
Thanks much and very 73.
Kevin :)
