Looking for ac plug pinout on Lafayette Comstat 23 Mark VI


The Comstat 23, 25A, 25B, 35, HB400/25A, GTX2300, GTX5000 all take the same 8-pin octal AC cord.

Short pins 4 an 5 pins together. AC Leads go to pins 2 and 3.

Caution: Make sure the AC cord is not plugged in while you're plugging in the octal socket. While you're rotating the octal socket to engage the key, the long pins are liable to hit wrong connections. Many of these radios had major burn out damage because of this.

Fantastic! Thanks - Woody
 
I thought the Comstat 19, 23 mark V and 23 mark VI were the same and the others were wired differently??? Maybe I was wrong.
I was wrong. I just looked at the schematic in Sam's 47 and the Mark VI is different than the others! Give me a few minutes and I'll scan that connector.
 
I just made a plug for myself but when I turn on the radio it screeches instead of static would anyone happen to know the cause and how to fix it?

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
