Dave, Use a new AC cord with a new and proper connector (3 pins) like a clothes drier, for 220V. Ask an electrician if you don't know how. Also use a good ground cable connected to a ground rod. You would be asking for trouble with a 2-pin connector. 73, John Dilks, K2TQN At 08:04 AM 9/1

Ya know Todd, I'm looking for the same thing to replace the original AC connector on my Collins 30K-4. Those old hard rubber (Hubbel) connectors...sooner or later become brittle and crack and break. I need to find the chassis/panel mount version of the recessed 2-pin male twist lock connector

I'm actually in the process of finding something similar to retrofit to the T-368. Someone removed the original, added a 2-pin Cannon connector, but the pins are so close to the outer shell that an arc trail developed to the shell at some point before I got it. Hubble has or had something that loo

David, They are all but extinct. I found one at an old hardware store, but it was just by luck. The hole the socket fits in will accommodate several of the modern day 3 prong twist sockets. On my "H" model I converted to one. Only problem was those rascals cost nearly $45 for the set! Rick/K

How do most of you BC-610 users out there connect the transmitter to AC? I see a twist-lock 2 prong connector on the back. I'm familiar with the three prong twist-lock, but where does one get a two prong one? -- David Goncalves W1EUJ __
