Avo Wide Range Signal Generator 'Force' socket - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Phil G4SPZ · 1st Feb 2016, 12:12 pm

This model has a high level output available at a special socket marked "Force". Does anyone have a picture of the special plug that fits into the socket? The socket itself is around 1/8" diameter and sits about 4" deep at the bottom of a tube.

Also, I would appreciate a picture of the wire stand originally fitted to the rear of the case. It's missing from my example, and I'd like to make a replacement to enable the generator to stand on the bench.

Thanks in advance,

Phil

Have you tried the car aerial type of plug?

Thanks, and I can understand why you've suggested that as it looks superficially similar, but in fact the car aerial plug is not suitable as the socket tube is much too deep and rather larger in diameter.

Never mind though, in the meantime using a bit of ingenuity I have come up with the arrangement shown on the attached pictures which actually works very well.
