[UK-CONTEST] Completly off topic but Help!

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

I'm afraid I don't have one, but you are correct in the name.
Very common on benches in the industry many years ago - all of which  
doesn't help much.
A google search turned up a number of sites, appears Cinch are the  
manufacture:
http://www.cinch.com/products/electronic-communication-systems/jones-plugs-sockets
lots of different configurations

and http://www.action-electronics.com/cinch.htm
which show the socket of exactly what you describe

and http://www.rpelectronics.com/Default.asp?Main=/English/ 
OnlineCat.asp?Menu=/English/Content/Categories/CatM_31.asp%26Detail=/ 
English/Content/Divisions/Div_31_550.asp
which looks like a UK supplier

lots more through goggle '6 pin jones'


Try rallies?

I believe M3SEK has suggested before that simplist solution is to  
replace the entire connector assembly with a 'flying' lead and then a  
suitable currently available connector.
