[ARC5] ARC-5 Cable Connectors question...

Greetings:

I am assembling a 40m CW/AM station, using the T-22, R-27 & MD-7.  I have obtained some connectors and am making up my required cables.

Never having done this before, I am not sure how to connect the cable wires to the connector.

Specifically, I have a PL-148, 3 conductor 28v input to the MD-7.  There is a cylindrical drop-out that has 3 "cups" (I'll call 'em), labeled appropriately "1", "2", & "3".  Two of the cups have what appears to be old solder in them, #3 is clean.  I don't see with what I have how to mechanically secure the wires to the cups.

If anyone can tell me what to do now,  I would appreciate it.  If there is a link to an  explanation, or a youtube video, just let me know.

Cheers,
John
