triax bnc and reverse polarity bnc adapters

[(*steve*)]

I have some test gear with unusual connectors.

The first of these is a 2 lug triax bnc connector. My cables are the more modern 3 lug variety.

Has anyone seen an adapter?

Another piece of equipment has reverse polarity bnc connectors. I have seen a converter, but freight to Australia is $USD20 for a $USD6 part! Whilst that's not too extreme, if I could find one more locally...

I had originally googled RP BNC connectors and didn't get much

bnc RP gives different results hahaha

the RF shop ( think they are in Brissie have them, tho the pic shows a standard male

saw one straight to RP adaptor from Pasternak but US$34 is totally stupid

Yeah, I'm really after a converter, but making a short cable may be easier

Now, for the triax adapter... Apparently a 3 lug male connector can connect to the 2 lug female connector. I'll give it a go...
