Does anyone happen to have a scrapped power supply chassis from a 1948 or 1949 10" Admiral console. It is model 30A1. This is a very common small 10 wooden console, that has a seperate power supply in the bottom of the cabinet. The power supply has a cable that terminates with a rectangular connector that has 3 rows of 5 pins.

I have the supply but someone cut the connector off of it and I need the male connector that is on the power supply cable that mates with the socket on the main tv chassis.

I do not want to wire the supply directly to the chassis. I want to keep it original.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob G.

Hi Bob
A few years ago I glommed onto a half dozen WW2 aircraft transmitters in various states from good and original to really hacked up. A common pratice is to remove the power connector (odd milspec) and replace it with an octal socket. Not wanting to do that I used some molex pins size adjusted with a sharp screwdriver, some plastic wrap, and bondo. to fabicate the other half of the connector.
In your case maybe just using some molex pins and swrink tubing would work
