Hi, Paul--
Yes it was "used" but it was obvious that the connectors had been that way
since the rig was new. The 6-pin connectors were what I think we called
"Cinch-Jones" and not "Molex."

Mike,
Was that a used rig? My early Triton IV digital has the same 4-plug MOLEX
connector every other Triton/Omni/Corsair and matching power supply has.
In other words, I've never seen a six wire Molex on any Ten-Tec. I can't
imagine TT would have put a six pin plug on a power supply without changing
the model number.
And to the other ham, no. There is no difference in plugs due to the
digital display. The four connectors are +12vdc, ground, and two to control
AC power from the Triton's power switch.
