I'm selling my excess of new Amphenol microphone connectors on eBay. I
had to purchase a box of 25, but I only need 3, so I'm selling the
balance.

Those of you who would be interested in these items know what they are
and how difficult to find today.

Your E-bay ad is very misleading. First of all, the Amphenol logo on
the box is from the '70s, not the '50s.

While it is true that Amphenol no longer makes that connector, its
because they sold that product line to WPI
http://www.wpi-interconnect.com/ several years ago.

Switchcraft http://www.switchcraft.com/ 2501 series is a fully
compatible, and better quality connector line. Then there are still
imported connectors that mate with this old industry standard.

$10 each is an outrageous price. You can find these at a lot of
online surplus dealers and almost any place that deals in older musical
equipment.



BTW, I still have 3 of the 2501F Switchcraft connectors for $3.50
each, and a good supply of the self shorting 2501 MP chassis mount
connector that short circuits the input when you remove the connector
for $2 each. This item is NLA from the OEM. I got a good price from a
surplus dealer who doesn't have any idea what they are, so I bought 25
to replace all of the microphone connectors on my restored antique test
equipment.

http://home.earthlink.net/~mike.terrell/Epcon.html Note: the current
stock on the shorting connector is shown as 3, but I can still get about
1000 additional connectors.
