Need mike connector for my TBY-8 or original mike-headset w/connector CTE 51022 .
Could also use a power plug, original key w/connector CRH-26013A.
Spacing of Pin #1 seems to be greater than others.

2-13-12  Ordered Amphenal MC4F1 female connector today.
Should work....we'll see.

2-14-12 Ordered a power supply/inverter from Pietro Noto.

2-17-12 MC4F1 arrived today - It does fit when set screw is removed and adjust barrel.
Will need to drill and re-tap bakelite.

2-19-12 Well, as it turns out.....the final solution for the connector was a bit
different.

After taking connector over to my friend's QTH W4OP to drill es tap the
bakelite, it turns out that new set screw would have bumped into another Pin.
Thats why it is off set to begin with.

Solution was to mill down key. There is only one way for the connector to fit
anyway. Pin #1 @ top dead center.

This where I got the connector;

I did order a 2nd connector. I will use separate mike es earphone lines.

Power supply from Pietro should be here next week.

Depending on how good or bad the audio sounds from Xmtr, will determine if I
convert to Xtal control.
Conversion is in the Surplus Radio Conversion Manual Vol #1.

It would be nice to have proper mike/headphone & Key assemblies.....
