John,

According to my 1943 Radios Master the Amphenol 93C was a chassis  
mount female connector.  Your mention of a "cutoff" being acceptable  
would imply a cable end connector.
The whole family lines up as follows:

93M -- Male with coupling ring
93MI -- Male with coupling threads
93F -- Female with coupling threads
93FI -- Female with coupling ring
93C -- Female chassis unit
93CI -- male chassis unit

Price $1.50 - $1.25 each in 1943 BTW
