An astonishing variety of stuff was octal pattern sockets and plugs. Even the electroluminescent dash power supply for a Chrysler Turbine Car.
There were also nine, eleven, and 20 pin octal (sic) sockets and plugs. The 20 had two rows like an old French pinfire revolver.
The bigger 14 and 16 pin keyed sockets for CRTs were used that way too. Jones plugs and the D-subminiatures did away with most of that in the seventies.
Any idea where to get a "plate retained octal plug"?I'd like to put a UTC into the mic input trafo octal plug that comes standard with the Ampex 601 mic/line tape input electronics.
Cheers,Richard.
