Telequipment/Solartron McMurdo Voltage Selector Link Plug Wanted! - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Has anybody got a spare Solartron/Telequipment Parts Mule with a spare Voltage Selector Link Plug & Socket I can purchase please?

I have a Telequipment D67 Oscilloscope in reasonable condition but the McMurdo Multiway Voltage Selector Socket is damaged due to a wallop from behind and the link plug is missing!

Cossor, Solartron and T.Q. all used this type of McMurdo Voltage Selector, that is a large rectangular black bakelite socket panel with 36 sockets and a long thin insulated 6 pin link plug with a white arrow engraved on it – you insert the plug with the arrow pointing right for 200–250 V and pointing left for 100–125 V !
