Aerial/antenna coaxial connector for AVP700 - what is it and where to buy?

[KenX]

From the simple antenna that comes with AVP700 I drew the conclusion that I needed a new coaxial connector to use the antenna on my roof.
However, no dealer in this town has seen this type of connector for 10 years they tell me. The diameter of the connector is slightly larger than on ordinary connectors and the pin in the middle is thin and pointy as a needle.

What sort of connector is this, and where can I buy one for a coax cable - not in Sweden it seems, since not even the industry supplier "Elfa" with a truly huge catalogue of electronics, has it.

Thanks for advice!

I haveattached a picture of it. Hopefully someone can tell me what sort of connector this is, and where I can buy one for a coax cable.


PS Sorry for the bad picture quality. It was taken with a cell phone.

As far as i remember, a normal tv coax plug would do.

Not sure if you need a male or female tho.

My old coax plug has a smaller diameter, and the middle pin is much thicker. So, it doesn't fit - far from it..

Well, Arcam support tells me the same - an ordinary connector should fit even though it looks different from the connector on the simple wire antenna.

I took it for granted, and using much more violence than I could dream of, it is now fitted in place! The FM signal better be good now!
