[TowerTalk] 7/16 DIN connectors

[Pete Smith]

The reason I got interested in this is that I found a surplus dealer who is 
selling Andrew 7/16 DINs for 1/2 inch helical cable at 4 for $24, and 
LDF4-50A for .75 a foot.  Belatedly, I've discovered the connectors are for 
the wrong 1/2 inch cable, which shots that idea.

Thanks to everyone who responded.  It sounds as if the 7/16 DINs are quite 
common and cheap in Europe -- maybe I need to make a pilgrimage to 
Friedrichshaven!
