2 pin mic plugs are SOLD OUT

[Garey Barrell]

Those are not the two-pin connectors in question.  The one being 
discussed was made by Amphenol many years ago as the 80MC-2M and is 
currently being manufactured by Wire Pro Inc. (WPI) along with other 
plugs and sockets of interest to us.   Unfortunately the "modern" 
suppliers such as Mouser, Digikey, etc. don't seem to carry them, but 
the "old line" guys such as Allied Electronics and Newark stock them.

The 0.206" dia, three circuit plugs (Switchcraft S260) are readily 
available from many distributors, manufactured by Switchcraft and 
others.  The one that is difficult to find is the "right angle" version 
with the "flat" back.  This one is desirable for the Drake B Line 
specifically because the mic jack is on the side of the transmitter.  
The C Line moved it to the back panel and the regular "straight" plug 
works fine.  Again, the flat one is still manufactured by Switchcraft 
under the S230 part number.  Mouser does carry this one, as does Newark.

Unfortunately, the prices have are "slightly higher" than they were in 
the 1960 Allied catalog!
