Allied still has these connectors available.
Go to http://www.alliedelec.com/catalog/pf.asp?FN=628.pdf
and download page 628 of their current catalog. This is a
.pdf file and Acrobat will open it. I suggest you use the
200% magnifier function to read it clearly.

The order number for the socket is #719-0016 at $3.88 the 
plug is #719-0025 at $2.59 and the metal hood with cable 
clamp is #719-0019 at $3.97

These sockets and plugs are black phenolic. I don't know
if the "blue" ones Collins used are still available. Maybe
at Surplus Sales but at higher prices. Somebody told me that
the blue connectors can stand higher voltages. Anyhow my
Heath SB-Line gear uses black connectors and I have not
experienced any problems with them so far, although the plate
voltage is about the same as with my Collins. I suggest to
switch off power before any attempt to pull the plug and
this is certainly true for blue and black connectors.  Heinz

The 11-pin, round, female connectors that go on a cable, with an
octal-style keyhole in the middle, like are used on the Johnson 
invader sub chassis interconnect, heath HP-23, and I believe all the 
S-Lines, are available from Newark under p/n 38F821 for $5.02 ea.
