RCA Panel/PCB mount for Phase Linear 3500 Series Two

[eykensf]

Hi,
I have a broken RCA connector (SW and UNSWITCHED OUT) on a Phase Linear 3500 series Two. I have made an adaptor for an metric new panel mount, but it is narrower than the original. Does someone have NOS or knows where to to find these original panel mount RCA's ? Thanks

I would machine the black piece out of a solid piece of Delrin or something and drill it for better connectors. The Rean ones are good n cheap... I use those a lot.

If you find another NOS part, it will do the same thing, and likely faster, due to modern RCA connectors actually having a decent grip. Or find vintage dental-floss RCA cables as supplied with early 80's equipment and make sure the four grounding prongs are all misshapen, so they barely contact the outer barrel.

I've gone to Walmart and gotten those white plastic cutting boards for plastic stock. Easy to cut and shape with hand and power tools.
Not sure what sort of plastic they are, but readily available and cheap

Oh, and black delrin sheet is available on eBay in various thicknesses.
No idea where to find original jacks. After a lot of searching I did find jacks for the earlier preamps, but they're different.
Are those similar to what were used in the later Carver preamps like the C1? Maybe look at those and see what those guys are using for upgrades.

Cutting boards are probably polyethylene.

Polypropylene…
Polyethylene is softer…

I’ve got some but difficult to ship from Canada. Try these out. Anyone with old carver c1 rca’s will work

I have some phono jacks that were used on the P/L 4000 etc. If interested send a P.M.
