I remember talking about this many months ago, but I can't seem to find the thread. Anyway, I'm looking to "replace and rewire" my Christie AW-1 platter's vertical column. I seem to have a "short" somewhere within the column and it kicks the breaker everytime I try to use the top platter. I know I'm going to want to replace the "Jones Plugs", and I know that Mouser sells them. Question is... which plugs and sockets do I need to get? Has anybody done this before? ------------------

The plugs and sockets on my AW-1 are made of a round bake-lite material (I think they're brown in color)Somebody once said they were "polarized" so the plugs would only fit one way into the column, but mine seem to fit any way you turn them. Since I don't exactly know what an "octal" plug is, I can't be sure. ------------------

An "Octal" plug has EIGHT pins arranged in a circle, and a center locating hub with an index key (so they only fit one way). It was widely used for vacuum tubes in the 40's and 50's, like the 5U4, 6L6, and 6V6. It was often used for cable connectors too.Here's a link to a website with a photo:
