The few people that have are usually SWL's (some Grundig radios used them), people who bought or sold PAL TV sets and VCRs (which is how they got the name "PAL connectors".) RadioShack calls the adapter a "European TV adapter", but says it connects an F connector to a PAL-type antenna jack. Universal Radio calls them "PAL", as in PAL M (male) or PAL F. to F female adaptor. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

As part of the socialized health plan, you are forbidden to eat it. :-) I'm not old enough to have called them or heard them being called Belling Lee, only vaguely aware of the term. Even the UK "Bible", RS catalogue , cops out and calls them "standard plugs and sockets " and "aluminium plug" for the ubiquitous one I URL'd pic of before , how ridiculous is that?

Sid, ours was called ... When not soldering the centre pin on those sorts of jobs where you just wanted to be out of the house before the fleas bit you to death or you caught something, we used to either bend the centre conductor, as the guy in that tutorial says, but a double 'S' shaped bend rather than a single, or else we used to 'crimp' the pin to the centre conductor where it emerged from the nylon bit, using a blunt pair of sidecutters.
