Hello

Maybe this should be in the wanted section but I recently acquired 4 old school GM-120's. Problem is the input connector looks like a DIN but isn't. Anyone have a suggestion where to find some?

Thanks, J

 

Pioneer GM-120 from the early 80 s

Has a extra large looking DIN Plug with a threaded locking collar around it ?

 

Hey loudguy

Thats the one, haven't found anything like it anywhere. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place.

Thanks, J

 

Its been many years since I played with one of those........

Unfortunately I doubt if you will find a plug or adaptor for it.

On a side note
These amps only worked with pioneer decks easily,

If I remember correctly it does not have a blue trip lead.....NO 12 Volt Remote trip, turns on via load sensing

Two red wires : heavier guage to 12v Ign, smaller red wire to ignition wire on deck.
(wont work with newer decks because they wont put a heavy enough load on the line)

We used to turn them on with a test light Bulb as a load.

Hope this helps

PS Kewl little amps back in the day.....

 

what you were suppose to do was turn the deck on with the amp..whoops! Im showing my age

 

Thanks for the informative response about turning on. I'm sure I could make something work. I'm making a plug for them now, I have a fist full of pins the correct size and will be making a fiberglass shell to hold them in.
I just picked up a casette deck that has the same plug on it, a buddy had it in his junk box. I don't know what the number is but it looks like it's only a player - no preamp or volume control. There is no model number on the unit.

Thanks, J
