zenith transoceanic battery packs
Howdy all;
I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if there is a source anyplace for the type of connector used in the zenith transoceanic battery packs. I have a few of these radios, and I would like to create myself some power packs. I read somewhere that old car radios used this same connector, but that's no help. I searched the internet, but couldn't even find the name or nomenclature for this connector type. There are a couple fellows out there making packs for resale, electronic and otherwise, so they must either be purchasing connectors form some outfit or making their own. Any ideas? Thanks |

I have a few of these radios, and I would like to create myself some power packs. [snip] I made a power pack connector using 1/8" brass tubing, a sheet of thin plastic and a PVC pipe cap. I made a pattern for the plastic sheet by adhering some tape over the radio's connector and punching the excess tape out of the holes. The pattern I made ended being a little off, but oversized holes and a little epoxy glue fixed it up. The pipe cap formed a sleeve to protect the new connector. The cap isn't absolutely necessary. 1/8" copper rivets would probably be easier to make into plugs, rather than cutting brass tubing to length. Although I made the connector for a Hallicrafters TW-1000, the batteries are the same as the Zenith Transoceanic. Frank Dresser |
