you can make radio shack part number 276-1428 pins work however the are a little loose on the male pin and I carefully pinched them to make a more positive contact.

It is a D sub miniture female connector. The pins are round and not square with the capture clip but they fit in the body tight enough that I did not have problem pushing out.

I called my radio shack and this punk answers "Online dating service"... I'm like WTF???? I call back "Hi this is RadioShack" - same number... I ask if they had a 10ft Coaxil cable in stock and the guy was like "well of course" in a snotty attitude. So I hung up and drove ever there. I find 3 teen age boys watching football and 5 other customers in the store trying to buy stuff. The 3 teenagers were the salesmen... I asked them where the coaxils were and you thought they were DIEING they had to get off their ***es and work!! They only had 25ft and 100ft coaxil in stock. I was P.O'd! Later I called them back and said I was calling for the online dating service


But Radioshack should have those.

Radio Shack. I can't stand that chain of stores. I'll only go there as a very last resort. Most of the people who work there certainly can not "help me", because I usually know more than they do. I can't stand going into a store, asking where something is and having the store clerk searching for the item in the same place I just looked.

I can't tell you how many times I used to hear Radio Shack employees giving out bad information or advice to other customers. I just don't go in there any more.

OK, rant over.
