Hi Linz and Bob ,

the DC connector of the Field Memory Recorder Fostex FR2 is from EIAJ
standards ( EIAJ-04 10.5 - 13.5 volts) Plug diameter 5.50 mm IO 3,3 mm
Pin 1 mm. Take a look at Schurter DC connector 4840-1220 / JSBP4 or
Schurter DC Cable straight plug 4840-5220 JSBP4 ou Schurter DC cable
angled plug 4840-5221 /JSBP4. In Australia the reference of the DC
output plug, in Access catalog,  is K3704  (K) EIAJ-04.
