Ok, I've been searching all day and I give up. I need the 6 pin screw in male connector for an AKG N61 power supply. On the schematic the part is listed as RWK-6_22c-1/4. I had some luck searching wk -622c but still couldn't find any more than the part existed. Should be made by Cannon, but this could possibly be an Amphenol part as well.

Anybody got any ideas??? I thought I might just swap out the female connector on the unit but it's just too tight in there, the current connector actually juts out beyond the unit to fit.

On a better note. I also spent 1/2 a day looking for the Cannon connector for the power cord on my Collins 212Y mic pre which I have never powered up. I got lucky and found it to be an Amphenol part. The part number (available from Digikey in the US) is MS3106A-14S-5P-ND. So if anyone is looking that might save you about a day of searching.
 
I'm also looking for some RWK plugs. I don't mind if they are not 6-pin as I can get the inserts from elsewhere.

Please PM me if you have any.

Roddy - can you shoot across a photo? I have a box of circular connectors and there is a small chance I have something.

PSW link doesn't work, but then again I am banned!
 
Thanks Stewart. Oddly, the cable is a "death cable" and is male at both ends. It has a threaded collar; the non-threaded version is just called an RK.

Here is a picture. It's the upper plug which I am looking for:

Death on a stick!

I will have a look in the box, but i have a feeling that the threads on these are different.

Ooh./...C12-A connectors?

Yeah, I have a mic, but unable to connect it to its supply. Have now purchased a marian adapter from Telefunken USA. I have a C12, C12a and an early 414. You can never have enough brass CK12s.....

Thanks for spotting that. Apparently it won't work though, as it's the WK version which doesn't have the loose threaded section which the RWK has.
