 Regarding those connectors (ug-102, pl-284, Amphenol 83-22sp and
83-821), I'm not finding a picture or drawing of those that shows how
the cable connects to the pins.  A picture of the inside (back) of the
part of the connector where the pins project from the front would be
helpful but a description might work as well.  I'd like to make sure
how these are connected to the cable before ordering one.

Thanks,

> Hi Barry,  The connector in your picture is the old original twinax connector.  Somebody modified your 390 and changed the new twinax to it.  It was used on the early sp-600s.  The male plug is available online and is known by the name ug-102, pl-284, Amphenol 83-22sp and 83-821.  Sorry I don't have any at the moment.
