I was goofing around on Ebay and put in an offer of $35 on a Heathkit HP13 power supply. The offer was accepted. Now I need to know what kind of plug am I going to need to run my HW 101 mobile with it. I think this maay be going in the Motorhome rather than the TS 570 I had planned to used.

Looks like a Jones cinch connector on the P/S

Thank you, Now to find one and a wiring diagram so that I can test it when it gets here. I might even have one in the garage, but I am afraid to go digging that deep.

Found some. Just ordered a couple. Cinch Jones 15 pin socket connector. Mouser has it listed as discontinued. Ebay had some

Is that the same connector which the HX-1681 uses to interface an HP/PS-23(a)?

If so: 11 pin. Surplus Sales carries them along with the back shells.

The manual I found online says 15 pin and I have a few on the way I found on Ebay,

Power supply is here. The plugs however have not arrived yet so no way to test yet.

Of course there is the old tongue test. You DO have an old tongue, right?

Yes I have a tongue but when the power in and power out go through the same plug the tongue test wont work..... 12 volts in 300v out would be a bit shocking.

Got some plugs. Now time to dig through the garage and find some cable, solder, soldering iron or gun and whatever else I might need.
