[GreenKeys] patch cord question

[Larry Tighe]

FWIW, I have used telephone switchboard cords for extensions.  These are the very narrow TRS plugs.  To creat an extension cord or a new cord mounted female, I've taken the "jack" out of a switchboard, attached the 3 wires to the TRC connections and shrink wrapped the contraption.  Some of those jacks have "tally" connections or "normal throughs" so you must be careful to go to the actual TRS points to solder.

Hope this helps.  In case, I have several boxes of those jacks around there someplace.

  There may not be one.  I've not seen very many PJ-051 or its predecessor PL-51 but of the smaller (a little over 7/32" diameter) version PJ-068 (JAN nomenclature) or PL-68 (Signal Corps nomenclature) which were used on almost all carbon microphones prior to 1948, I've see hundreds if not thousands and never an in-line female.

    Not bantam. it's a 1/4" diameter TRS plug.
    But typical of the Mil versions, the tip is small and doesn't seat properly
    in some female (usually cheap) jacks. And I need a cable version jack
    that will seat properly.
