Hi! Does anybody know what kind of power connector is used on this radio? It looks like it could be a Molex but I'm not sure.

The 23 channel SSB base/mobile radio and the Slant Face SSB/mobile radio had that 6 pin like Smokinone mentioned. Out of all the SSB Sears radios I have, the AC cord was more common. I think I only ever had ONE DC 6 pin connector. I ended up wiring directly to the board inside on some of them.

Yeah, that's the critter. Right now I just have slipped individual connector pins on but a "real" connector would be nice.

Make me a decent offer for my dc cord... Don't know why bought the radio in the first place...

Yep, I had 1 AC cord for one of the radios, and the second I added wires internally for one, and then used some butt connectors to the external plug for the other.
Works OK, just looks a little funny.

I salvaged the male plug from an old ATX computer power supply. Those were ideal. After a little internal connection mod and chassis tweaking to the CB, you’re good to go. That computer AC cord also give it a stock appearance. An upgrade IMO.
