Hmm... I could believe it's a full 3mm. I'll do some digging on that.
JVC used a 3.xxx mm diameter pin coaxial power connector on some of their
portable VCR stuff. I have a portable Umatic machine that takes a
lead-acid battey with suck a plug on the cable. I know I bought a
suitable connector from Maplin (so I could make up my own battery packs),
but it has probably been disocntinued by now :-(
I'm surprised you didn't do something clever with brass tubing and
heatshrink ;-)
