Does anyone know of a source for the female 14 pin connectors that went from the rectifier to the lamphouse in the model 1600? The Amphenol # is 32-9s and it's listed as obsolete on their website.
Thanks,
Bob

Sorry, I screwed up. I got the correct Part# off the diagram. It's MS3106A32-9S. I'll call them Monday.

MS series, even obsolete, are usually carried by distributors who service aviation companies. MS plugs and connectors are built up from parts ( shells, inserts, strain relief et cetera ); you should be able to source it out by finding the product code on the insert. In Miami we have HS electronics carrying these as OEM parts.1665 W 33rd Place, Hialeah, Florida 305-821-5802.
MS connectors are expensive if you buy from a Electronics companies such as Newark / Allied and others....generally from aviation electronics distributors, they tend to be about 1/2 the price than if you would buy from others.

Just out of curiousity is the regulation section of your rectifier still working or have the souls of all those germanium transistors flown off to the great Poly Paks* in the sky? They tend to blow and the rectifier goes chugging right along, wide open (not that that's all that wide).

* Hopefully at least a few of you will get the reference.

Remember the little Poly Paks dude? [Smile]

Steve referenced, "the great Poly Paks* in the sky?"

If you're referring to the electronics surplus place that I used to order miscellaneous x-istors, resistors, solar cells, etc., back in the late '70s...wow, I had not heard that name in over 20 years!!! Lots of stuff a kid in high school could mess with. [Razz]
