[time-nuts] Acquired a Symmetricom 5817A-05Q / Power connector Question

[M. George]

I added a couple more pictures of the connector after removing it from the
housing.... I tired to get a better close up on the connector, but it's
kind of blurry.  After more research, it's an SMC F, female actually... I
guess.  I assumed male because of the pin inside the plastic / dielectric.

Anyway, I found some good pictures of a possible replacement on
flea/Bay/eBay:

Look at the 4th picture.

I'm kind of anal about fixing this kind of stuff, even if I end up going
the 0 ohm jumper route and disable the power input to use power from the
one of my GPS receivers.

Thanks once again... I would have spent a lot more time on my own getting
to the bottom of it.
