Hi, tripn. A picture would help a lot. It's possible that kind of connector is still around.
Hello,
I have a vintage Kay lap steel that I can't play. I can't match a plug to the old jack on the guitar. It has threads outside and just a contact in the center. I'd like to find either an adaptor or a cable so I can amplify the instrument. Thanks for any help. tripn
Found the cable I needed at Elderly Instruments.com. Would like to find out a model and date on the guitar. Please view the pics and help if possible. Thanks a million, what a great forum!

...www.steelguitarforum.com and get all the answers and links, but..., try asking SGFer Jim Palenscar to make you a cable with a 1/4" plug on the end @ www.stlgitr.com, or get adaptors @ www.elderly.com/accessories/items/MS20.htm, or www.angela.com in the mic section, or Sam Ash maybe still carries them.
$5 get's you into the big wide world of steel guitar fun and info @ www.steelguitarforum.com
There's no need to fret if you play steel guitar!
Really appreciate the quick replies, will take some pics of my steel and post as well as check out the websites. What a great board this is. Tripn:
Just an update, I got the cable I needed at Elderly Instruments.com. Great place! Thanks again, tripn
PS-Will upload some pics as soon as I resize them.

Cheap microphones used to use that connector too. Glad you found it.
