Thats entirely possible. > > What connectors? Made by whom? Some Chinese maker, got them from ebay. Except for the lockwasher and 5 pin rather than 4, they look identical to whats used on 2 way radios for mic connectors for the last 50 years. Uses a loose locknut on the mateing plug to screw them together. panel has pins, the plug is female. Item 132694328472 on ebay.com. Good, serviceable connector for $0.80 a mating pair. $8.something for a bag on 10. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
