Greetings

I have 3 Ward Beck MP4 Meter Bridges.
2 are 2 VU and 2 Peak Programme level meter units and 1 is a 2 VU and a an Audio Phase meter unit.
 
The question is... None of the units came with those precious little 3 Pin Green 'removable'  Plug-In connectors for the Balanced Audio inputs at the rear of each unit.
.
Are they available as a 'Generic' spare part from any electronics manufacture... If so, can some kind Soul tell me the Part Number (or the 'product code') for them?
Or are they very specific to Ward Beck and can only be supplied by them?

Have read  a thread recently that Ward Beck have closed their manufacturing plant.

If there are any Souls out that can spare a couple of them (12 plugs would be ideal), I will buy anything I can get ;)   

Can any one help?

Kind regards,

I think these are what you need:


They seem to be cheap and plentiful. Digi-Key has no trouble shipping to Canada, hopefully they can do the same for New Zealand.

A word of caution on these Euro connectors: There are a variety of different pitches available, some very close to each other.  I measured a 3-pin plug on a POD22 that I have, and came up with a pitch of slightly more than 3.5mm (probably 0.15").  That corresponds to the part number I listed, but you should double check that your device uses the same size connector.
