My quest for an odd connector is a little different... I
have a Tektronix RF signal generator with a GR-874
connector. It's hermaphrodite, in other words, it's both
male and female -- I only have one of them, so I can't
really explain how they connect up!
Now, I've discovered by a chat with my uncle (who's an
amateur radio enthusiast in Dayton, Ohio) that the "GR"
stands for General Radio. But I'm not really any closer to
finding a connector to get the RF from sig-gen to circuit!
