Michael, as an afterthought....

I'll immediately send you a Paypal payment for $3.50, if you'll send
me one of your "Imitation Amphenol" connectors postpaid (just like I am
selling my genuine Amphenols) so that I can examine it and compare the
quality of your product with that of Amphenol's (construction, plating,
solderability, etc.).

I'll even photograph the two different products side-by-side and email
the photo to any newsgroup reader requesting it so they can make up
their own minds. Is that fair or not?

Put up or shut-up!

Switchcraft is not "Imitation Amphenol" It is an american made
product. I can get you a picture of it if you want. Obviously you have
never used anything from Switchcraft, or you wouldn't question the
quality. It was used in a lot of military and industrial grade
equipment, where I have seen more ham gear with Amphenol connectors.

As far as Paypal goes, I do not have an account. I don't buy or sell
on E-bay, so i really don't need one. The parts i have for sale are the
leftovers where I shut down my business due to failing health. I would
rather sell them cheap than have them end up in a landfill. I used to
sell at a half dozen hamfests every year, but I can't make the long
trips anymore. That leaves the Ocala hamfest that is within my driving
range, and the locals already know how to find me. I did commercial
sound, broadcast and industrial work. I only used Switchcraft, because
of their quality and a reasonable delivery time. At the time they were
a division of Raytheon, who was a large defense contractor.

Here is one online photo of the Switchcraft 2501F connector at Allied
Electronics:

http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=lang_en&ie=ISO-8859-1&newwindow=1&q=switchcraft+2501F&btnG=Search
has 190 pages that sell or mention the Switchcraft 2501 F connector

http://www.stkcheck.com/evs/mfg2.asp?mfg=SWITCHCRAFT&urlpath=&urltext=&DX=&par t=2501F&stype=Search
is a page of distributors with it in stock.

I can ship you one of the connectors if you want it. $3.50 plus
whatever the postage is for the padded bag. Never a handling charge.
