power cords and plugs

[rbigg]

Where can I find either made-up power cords, or power plugs for a couple of <br />old marine VHF radios?<br /><br />I have a Polaris Regency and Sea Ranger I need power cords for. The plugs <br />aren't readily available, but were standard ones for those vintages of VHF <br />marine radios.

Have you checked Radio Shack or any of the radio repair shops in your area?

Surely you have some old "HAM" radio operators in your area. If they don't have what you want, I'd bet they could call one of their buddies; like a ham that talked to boats all the time, and locate a connector/power cord for you.<br /><br />You also might get on the wwww and search for VHF marine connectors. Or search for the following company web sites: AMP, Amphenol, King, Omnispectra, to name a few manufacture all types of connectors; Belden manufactures all types of cables. For VHF RF a "Type N" connector was popular. (I know this is not a power connector but thought you might need that too.). <br /><br />HTH,<br /><br />Mark
