Corroded Direct TV Slimline

Question

I have a Winegurd Slimline Directv unit that has a corroded coaxial cable connection located where the 4 coaxial connections are on the bottom of the unit. I have replaced the male side on the cable but the female connection on the unit is a bit different. It is a coaxial female connection on one side and what appears to be a mini or micro coaxial on the internal side. I have called Winegurd and they do not sell the connector. I can not find the connector in any of the local places (Fry's Electronic, Best Buy, Platt electrical supply and a few locally run companies.

Has anyone had any experience with this problem? Anyone know where to get the connector?
Anyone have any suggestions? I have photos but don't know how to upload them to this message

Thanks in advance

It should be a standard coax bulkhead fitting.

The 4 coax connection at the base of a Trav'ler that output the signal to the coach are all standard barrel connectors.  Are you looking for the tiny F-connectors on the coax cable itself?  It's RG179 cable so you can Google "rg179 coax f connector" and find the ends.

Thanks, I found a connector that should work and will be installing today.
