Connectors for a TK-30 Power Supply and CCU

[Penthode]

Hi All,

Does anyone have the old Cannon connectors and or cables which would connected to the TK-30 CCU and power supply. I acquired an old TK-30 camera chain a few years ago and plan to restore it.

I do not have the original pulse generation equipment and plan to get by with a more recent solid state sync pulse generator which provides separate vertical, horizontal and mixed syncs. It appears I would only need to build a pulse level interface to ensure the pulses are the correct level. (Horizontal pulses are about 80 volts p-p!)

All connectors originated during WWII as the Series K Cannon Connector. I require the sync input connector is an NK-7 (?) 7 pin male Cannon connector for the sync input. I also require the male and female NK-12 Cannon 12 pin connectors to intercoonect the Power Supply with the CCU.

Any help securing these connectors will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Terry

Hi Terry

I thought you might be interested in the attached catalogue of canon connectors, it seems they still make some of them. were in the world re you?

At some point, when it is convenient, I would appreciate some pictures of your TK30 for use on my museum web site.

If you are really stuck, a dodge I have used in the past is to break up a similar connector and use the pins and sockets to go directly onto the existing connectors until a suitable connector turns up.
