Quad FM 1 Aerial
Hi, does anyone know if I need a special Coax plug for a Quad (Acoustical?) FM 1 or will a modern coax male plug fit?
(If this should be in the Hifi section, feel free to move this thread, and mods have my apologies). |

The plug is labeled "L734/P" in the manual, if that is any help. Many thanks from Bill.

Standard TV aerial plug, also known as Belling Lee.

Re: Quad FM 1 Aerial
I thought it was just a standard TV-type coax plug.
An old Home Radio catalogue lists the Belling-Lee L734/P and describes it as a 'standard coaxial plug', and suggests it's the TV aerial connector. As far as I know the TV aerial plug hasn't changed over the years. so a modern one should fit the Quad FM1 tuner. I can go and check mine if you like. |
