> Jeff if you can?t find any connectors an alternate option is to make up a harness using the AMP crimp-able male and female bullet quick disconnect connectors sold at Home Depot.  I used the ones with the blue sleeves. I built the harnesses back in the 90s, over 30 years ago now for my ART-13, you just have to be careful to label the leads in case one or more of them  gets loose and or you need to disconnect the harnesses to work on or move the radio.

My ART-13 auto tune does work in general but I never use it because the final amplifier coarse tuning (control C) bandswitch does not respond to the auto tune drive. Since the radio rarely is used other than on 3885 kHz here, the few frequency and band changes are easily done manually.
