Stock stereo connector question

Stock stereo connector question
After having my stock CD player start going out, I went with an aftermarket sony head unit installed at Circuit City. After a month, the aftermarket unit or the hack install job started acting up and I was able to find a new stock FD3S cd player for 50 bucks from a dealer that wanted to get rid of it.
Now here's my question...to install the aftermarket head unit, they had to cut off the plugs that go for the antenna and something else. The plugs look like the old switchboard operator plugs the phone company used to use way back in the Andy Griffith TV days (no Im not that old . Anyone know where I can get the plugs at? I was thinking of taking the unit to a radio shack or stereo place to see if they have any plugs that would fit and make it work.
Thanks
Tim

OT..hello Tim. I could not help but notice your last name. I am Robbie Benton and live in NC. Anyway, take care. I hope you get your answer. I recently bought an 84 and plan on putting the Stock Equalizer in probably next weekend. The car did not come with one so I sure hope the connections are there, if not, Ill be having the same problems you are now.

Can you post a picture?
If there the ones I think they are- Motorola antenna jacks, I don't know if you can still get them at radio shack, and I don't know why Circuit City would have cut those off.

thanks for the replies. I'll try to get a picture from the parts/service manual and post it. As far as circuit city, I have no idea why they did either other than the aftermarket sony unit had a female connector and they spiced into the antenna line and put a male connector on the wire coming from behind the dash...which normally is a female connector and the stock head unit has the male connectors coming from it (just went outside to examine it again since i had stated it wrong in the first post).
