Gina,
Do you still want a plug casting?, I am getting one made for Philip. I don't need one so the guy is only making one, but if you need one it will bring the price down. I can do all the machining and hole tapping. It will come without brass inserts but I have a drawing for making these.

Kevin.

The 2-pin plugs should not be that difficult to find, since they were a "multi purpose part" used on a variety of sets (WS11, WS19 RF amplifier, R107, DC-AC converter for the Typex machine, etc.) and were still current issue in the Larkspur era.

The 3-pin connectors are more difficult, despite being used on the R107 (muting plug) and a lot of Line kit (mostly carrier telephone stuff). (Anyone with an R107 needs one of these to blank off the muting connector which has 250 volts on the exposed pins!)

Some Dutch eBay sellers had the 2-pin version as WS19HP power cables, and they may still be around somewhere.

The moulded replacements for the "domino" sockets are a work of art, but it would be much better if the contacts could be include at moulding time - they're only a brass pin with a central hole (tapped at one end) and a groove with knurled bottom to retain them in the body. I don't know how complex the moulds are, but it should be possible to incorporate the contacts before filling the mould.
