I was waiting for the between series adapter market to appear back in the seventies.

I like the modern cheap version of the Jones plug. There was one on the rotor box
for my C.A.T.S system that I recently purchased. My gripe with DIN is that most
of them are made from grain fed crap. The Molex is made from some other form
of the same stuff except that it gets brittle with age and breaks before makes (pun).

Anybody got seed money for the between series idea?
