Deckel fans,
I recently bought a vintage Hensoldt-Wetzlar centering microscope for my 1964 Deckel FP2 mill.
This is marked 6 volts, which I think is correct. The problem is that the connector on the microscope
and the connector on the power cabinet
are both male, and don't match. Which connector is the "right" one? Does anyone have a spare mating connector for one or the other side of this, or could tell me where to purchase one? In the worst case I'll just replace both with some standard circular DIN connectors, but it's nice to keep things original if possible.
[EDIT]
Searching the forums (should have done that first!) I found this thread, which is relevant. It says that the connectors are microphone connectors, and that Amphenol sells compatible ones. I am still not sure that this is correct for me, and so would still be grateful for parts numbers or pointers, or a spare connector if someone here has got one that they don't need.
A strange thing, when I look at the Schematic for the power cabinet, it clearly shows a "Tuchel Steckdose" which means a female socket! I wonder if the connector that I am looking at shown previously is badly damaged, and once upon a time it was in fact the correct item. Here is from the schematic:
[FURTHER EDIT]
What I need in German seems to be a Groß-Tuchel-Einbaudose 5 Pins (female) mit Bajonettverschluss. In English: a large Tuchel bayonett connector flange socket, 5 pins female. Still have not found a supplier!
Or MAYBE what I am looking at in my switching cabinet is the rear entrails of a broken off male plug, and behind it is a perfectly good female connector....
Cheers,
Bruce
