Hey. It's just a 5 pin connector. Can't you find something from molex and
swap out both ends? Or is there some kind of "authentic" value in this like
the organ is a collectors item or something.

Hi. I found a few really old posts about this plug, but no part
numbers or sources. Anyone know where I can find one of these plugs?
One post said it was used on the HB-400 radio. It's round, with round
pins, shaped like a "Y" (or a crows foot).

I don't need it for a CB, though. It was used on an old Rheem combo
(portable) organ for the volume pedal.

It's not a 5-pin connector, it's 4-pins, and the pin arrangement isn't
like any other I've seen. Yes, swapping both ends is a workable
solution, but it's worth spending a few minutes online doing inquiries
to try to locate the real thing. While combo organ's don't yet have
the status (or prices!) of vintage guitars and amps, collectors such
as myself will go to reasonable (but not fanatical) lengths to retain
as much original stuff as possible.

I've seen that same pin configuration on an old Lafayette tube radio. There
must be some old mic you can gt it from. I wouldn't know where to begin to
look though. :-(

I almost forgot - the main reason I need the correct plug is I'm
making a pedal for a 3rd party who lives across the country, and who I
could not expect to replace the jack on the organ. If it were mine,
yeah, I'd probably be ready to replace it and be done with it.

Ah, ok. That makes sense. And yeah, 5 pin...LOL. I just forgot when I
typed the reply.

Actually it's a 4 pin plug. This plug was used on many Lafayette radios.
If you can't find the plug you can always go on Ebay and do a search on
Lafayette.
You usually can pick up an HB-525 or 625 for a song. Many come with the
microphone. Now you can get the radio with the female socket and the mic with
the male plug!
