DB-420 16 bay UHF folded dipole.

I was able to snag one of these for FREE! Not sure exactly who makes it. I know commscope still makes a 420, but this one is a bit older. only one snag. center pin on the 75 ohm N female is borked and gotta be replaced. (for those who don't know they use 75Ohm RG-11 for the harness)

Might be a long shot but before I go and dump $30 for a new connector anyone got a center pin for a 75ohm N female laying around?

I can send you a new Amphenol 82-63-RFX. Although made for RG-8, 213, etc., the poop sheet shows it will work with 216 which is 75 ohm. If you want to try replacing the entire connector or just see it the center conductor will work, send me an address and I will stuff it in an envelope and toss it at the pony express lady when she goes bobbin by.

is that connector 75ohm? from my memory 75ohm connector wont mate well with the 50ohm. (from my memory the N female pin is bigger on the 75ohm vs 50ohm.)

I'm not positive. One place shows it being compatible with RG 216 which is 75 ohm, but many others don't list that. I know this will work with RG-8, 213, 214, and those series, but can you adapt it at all? Or, can you put another style of connector on the antenna? I know N is best, but if you no gots, then it's on to plan "B".
