Does anyone know where I can buy several two-pin ( male) connectors to plug into the 75 Ohm Aerial sockets of my 3000/4000 units.? I know that sticking a piece of wire into the socket works but it's not very attractive!

Martin, You have given me a link to a normal co-axial plug similar to those used in TV aerial connections. This is not what I am looking for.
I am looking for a TWO PIN flat plug that has two screw terminals at the rear to connect to the aerial wire.
To explain further, the B&O 'Bunny Ears' plug-in FM aerial was fitted with such a plug when supplied by B&O. I have such an aerial so know that this is the case.
Ralf, Tried there, still looking. Please read my later reply to Martin.
Did you check my link?
Or was this wrong, too....
I was thinking of this.
The adapters on ebay work for Beomaster 5000 (Tuner), Beomaster 3000, Beomaster 4400 etc...
That type of plug is actually a 240-300 Ohm impedance plug.I have no idea why B&O used it for 75 Ohm.Anyway, they are incredibly difficult to find. Last used one I saw on Ebay went for over 20 euros.Type D in this photo (E and F are 75 Ohm male and female).
The adapter, Ralf links to, can be used for conversion or even better, cut the cable and use only the plug.If you have a coax cable, it will be 75 Ohms anyways.240-300 Ohm antenna cable is hardly ever used anymore.
You only need one antenna plug for each Beomaster.
Hi Dillen
I've recently been handed down a Bombaster 3000. I have the power cable only but am wanting to check the tuner works. From the plugs above mine seems to need D for either 240 or 75 ohm. Would you happen to know where I might be able to buy or get a cable + aerial made such that I could check my unit works? With thanks. CB
A plug and two leads, each apprx. 75cm length pulled out to opposite directions (dipole antenna) will be fine for a start.The type of lead is not critical.Later you can fit a more decent antenna and reuse the plug.I can supply the 240/300 Ohm IEC 45316 plug (Type D in the above photo).PM or email me
