Hunting Elusive Connectors

Hi All...

This doesn't have much to do with with Parallax products, but I figure if anyone can point me in the right direction, this is the group to go to!

I'm looking for the connector in the photo. No one around here has any idea of what it is. And while some of the electronic suppliers online might have them, I've had no luck so far.

This is the headset connector for a CD V-700 radiation detector (geiger counter). I "think" the part number was something like "PL-239", but I find when relying on my memory for such things, I have a better than average chance of being dead wrong.
My goal is to connect the audio output of the detector to my DVM to determine background radiation levels and compare that to the radiation emitted by (un)common things around the house... salt substitute, bananas, certain glassware and so forth. Not a high-tech project and in the grand scheme utterly insignificant. Just one of the myriad "shiny things" that keeps me from completing much at all. :blank:

Thanks for any guidance!

Amanda

    You might find them a Radio Shack if they have some old stock.

    Amanda,
    Feng nailed it! I am leaving for work shortly and will see what I can find there. Those were old HiZ mic connectors! Brings back a few long forgotten memories.

    Thanks Jim,
    Let me just add something and say something that I can’t remember have been mentioned before. Kuroneko and PhiPi is the kind of people that nail it all the time and now I’m talking about Propeller knowledge. Those gays really know what the are talking about. Ok, that was an understatement. Their knowledge is far beyond that. Talking about myself I’m a radar technician and everything regarding a minimum of one electron moving is something that I store in my mental hard drive since 1963. I’ve been around here since 2006. Now using another name due to the fact that I forget the password and was forced to make another account. My name now days is feng. I’m from Sweden but why feng? Well my latest - and hopefully last - wife is from China so I’m using my wife’s last name (translated to English of cause). Anyway - all that I have read coming from Kuroneko and PhiPi is for sure way above everything coming from the rest of us. No offense so sorry Heather, Chris, jazzed, Loopy, Hippy and all the others – someone has to be the best. So – kuroneko and PhiPi - please continue your excellent work. I will for sure continue reading this forum and continue to use the knowledge I have regarding any subject that will appear on this forum to help with a quick answer.
    REGARDS

    Perhaps you should change gays to guys. They might become offended :)

    feng,

    When you type "Heather" I presume you mean "Heater."

    However I do agree with you Kuroneko and PhiPi, gay or not, are rock stars around here compared to us peasants. They don't mince around with idle speculation and chit chat they get straight to the point. I am very glad they are around.

    I always imagined you as more of a Susan...

    I really don't know how to take that.

    I'm probably a Lazy Susan though.

    LOL... Yea, that could be interpreted in a couple different ways. I hope there is no fantasizing going on here :)

    Gadgetman,

    You really need to pick up a few of Terry Pratchett's Discworld books...
    It's a reference to Susan Sto Helit, granddaughter of Death, one of the more underappreciated characters in those books.
    She's ... sensible...
    (She can also walk through walls and ride Binky, Death's large, white horse)
