Re: any ideals who might have these?

I've used small, black vinyl caps intended for SO-239 connectors.

I saw a youtube video of a guy in the UK that had some type of a cap screwed
on his and it looked nice.
Any ideals of where they got those or who can make them?

Hi Gerald:
I have never seen screw caps for mike connectors. Many companies use plastic
(polyethylene) push on caps for protection during shipping. I have seen them
in bulk in my shipping materials catalogs. Also at retail at OSH. I think
the brand was capsco.

The mic connector is the same size as SO239 or N connectors so caps for those will work, just google so239 cap

Hello Gerald,

I have some threaded caps here that work very well. It is a red soft
plastic threaded cap that screws onto the standard 8-Pin "Foster"
microphone connector. If you visit their website, you'll see that they
have a large assortment of caps of all types and sizes. The information
that is stamped on the cap that I have here is:
"CAPLUGS CD-67" and here's a link to their website:

<
https://www.caplugs.com/series/Threaded_Plastic_Caps_for_Flared_JIC_Fittings/1057.html
>

As you scroll down the page, you'll see "CD-67 Bag of 100", but that
doesn't appear to be selectable. Continue scrolling further, and you'll
see "CD-67" that is selectable.

Unfortunately, it looks like they sell them in primarily large quantities,
but perhaps if you contact them, they'd be willing to sell you a small
quantity or send you some free samples.

Instructions to order free samples:

Re: any ideals who might have these?

I bought mine from one of those connector venders at a hamfest. Check out
some of the venders websites that service your area. I'll bet you will find
them there...

I tried an all metal cap but did not like that much silver on the front of my K3
What I wound up with is the ring from a mic connector and a thin piece ofblack plastic so you basically see a black Center with a silver ring around it.
