It's a subminiature two-conductor phone plug and your Radio Shack *should* have
them in packages of two with red covers as catalog #274-290 for about a buck
and a half.. They also carry wire that works. Just make sure it's stranded and
not solid-core. I've replaced the wire on mine twice already, and periodically
both ends have to be cut off and resoldered as the wires break near the ends. I
keep a package of plugs around all the time, as it doesn't take a lot of stress
to break them or the connecting wires.
