[GreenKeys] Looking for KS-14173 Connectors/Jacks

[Tim Griffin]

Hi GreenKeyers;

I know this is a long-shot, but I thought perhaps the GreenKeys teletype
community might be able to assist.

I'm working with an ex-Nortel gentleman who is in the process of rebuilding
a 756-AN Crossbar PBX switching system. The system depends on a "crown
cable" to tie together the equipment slides within and between cabinets and
such a cable uses KS-14173 connectors (jacks) and KS-14160 connectors
(plugs). These were connectors for telephony equipment of the era, and may
have even been used in some teletypes.

We're looking for some KS-14173 connectors (quite a few). For those not
familiar with what they look like, the attached drawing and photograph show
them. In the event the attachments are not preserved, they can be seen on
the first page of this BSP document:

Any leads on someone with a box of these gathering dust, or even an
existing "crown cable" would be incredibly welcome!

Thanks,
Tim Griffin
