Does anybody know how this connector is called? Or is it a B&Only connector?

Mine is almost broken off from the cable and i like to have a good connector.

If you read the document that picture comes from, you will know...

It's a standard DIN connector, nothing B&O specific. Quite hard to find though, as it hasn't been used much since the 1970's.

Thanks!

I've googled the image with "300 ohm fm connector".
But it's almost the only image on google with this connector.

Seen over 9000 now :)

I must've done something right then

Just to make sure, it's DIN 45316, but it may be useless trying to find it by that name. Just a few days ago, I believe somebody posted a German source for wire antennas with that connector on the forum. It seemed to be a molded connector though, so it might not be too useful if you are trying to repair a rabbit's ear antenna.

I think i've found the answer myself but THANKS :) 

I managed to push the 2 pins out of the plastic shell. there is a hole in each one where a cable can be attached through.
And you can slide the pins back in :)

This one is done!

Just for the record, with the replacement of the plug, I'm using the very same rabbit ear antenna with a BS2500 with pleasure (of course with a replacement plug).

This is a little piece of evidence for B&O's timeless design and ideology, as this antenna can be connected without any problem to a long later designed B&O system.
