Ditto; a third BC-223 / BC-312 in progress here.

I'm not that much of a nitpicker for details; I found one PL-150 (for the rig)
and since I'm going to run the rig on an AC supply spade lugs on the other end
are more than adequate.

Re. cable; again, cheating. 

The cables have been made up using 8 conductor rotator cable that used to run
my HAM-M rotor. It looks to be two conductors of #14, and six of #16. Gray
vinyl jacket. IMHO that's close enough for a rig that isn't going too be on
the
exhibit circuit.
