Hi, does anyone know where to obtain a battery plug for a 1941 portable? There were several similar models in years right before and after, probably all used same connector.
I have a minty 41-841 which plays extremely well. The radio half of the battery plug connector is there and in great shape. It's 5 pronged and male (as opposed to my G500 Transoceanic which is 4 pronged and female).
I don't want to cut off the old plug and substitute for it, would like to keep it in a more original configuration. Except for the plug difference the *heavy* TO pack I already have would work fine (60AAs, 6Ds). It fits right in the 41-481 compartment, and the B voltage is already correct (90v). And by removing one of the D sized A cells (and jumpering), then the filament voltage would also be correct (the 1941 radio has one less 1.4 volt tube in the string).
By the way, the TO pack easily fits in a TO but just barely squeezes into the 41-841 compartment. So, some other packs made for TO's probably would not fit.
