CX-10613 cable

[Yaivenov]

So I'm plodding along with getting my radio and VIC-1 hooked up. Unfortunately this project got massively slowed down due to disposable income levels dropping off (selling off a couple items I don't really use to help fund this through to finish).

There is a cable that is being excessively elusive. The CX-10613 that connects from vehicle power to the MX-7777. I can't seem to locate them at the usual venues, does anyone have a line on this cable or perhaps directions for fabricating a suitable replacement?

have you tried american milspec and austin aviation on ebay?

 

[Yaivenov]

Ebay is sans CX-10613 currently.

Send a PM to CARNAC, he may be able to help you.

I had the same problem when I was setting my Vic up

take a look at this thread

I finally found some.. it took a lot of digging and calling.

Just a warning, Be sure to wire yours correctly. If not you can smoke the vic-1. If you do not have the manual please get one.

As i read it, pin a is - and pin b is + on the cx-10613. Whether im right or wrong, i hope domeone chimes in quick to confirm or set me straight

wiring

I've done military radios for a long time and the easiest way to remember how to wire the plugs is "ships always run Aground". Simple but effective in 99% of installations.

Its also in the 809 tm20 wiring diagram in the back. That particular item is gold to me.
