What also works is to use a PL-259 UHF male connector.
 Cut off the center pin until it is under 1/4 inch
long.  You can use a reducer for RG58/U coax in the
plug to make things "neater".  The outside of the
PL-259 fits the old Amphenol connectors perfectly.

There was a "Hints & Kinks" entry in QST back in the
late 1950s about this.

The connectors are actually "male" even though they
are certainly not like the more common phone plugs,
etc.

Is it possible to replace these conductors with BNC
type or are the old female ends available, and if so,
what are they called?
