[TowerTalk] Need source for G-2800 controller connector

[GALE STEWARD]

There were two versions of the control box for the Yaesu G-2800. Apparently the early version used the 6 pin Jones type while the later version used the Molex style.
I recently replaced the original Yaesu control box for a client with a Green Heron unit. His original control box had the Jones style plug/socket.

I have owned four Yaesu G-2800 rotators and they all had Molex type
connectors not Jones.  I purchased extra connectors and pins from Yaesu.
They were expensive but fit perfectly.

I have a G-2800 rotator that I am pulling out of the closet to use and I
cannot find a source for the Jones type connector that is on the rotator
controller box (NOT the rotator end).

 

The connector has two rows of 3 horizontal pins with one of them
keyed/oriented 90 deg from the others.  I have looked on Mouser/DigiKey and
while the have them with 6 pins in two rows, I cant find one with the one
pin keyed/polarized from the others?

 

Anyone have a source for them?
