DIN Phono Cable

@lewm 

There are plenty of turntables where that right-angle DIN really isn't a concern. I will have my cables built with straight-on DIN connectors.

Yes, of course, I was merely trying to explain to Jose what Maxson was getting at.  Of course there may be no need for a right angle DIN with Jose's TT, just as it isn't with yours. The point was that Jose' did not get the point.

Thanks….I understand. I mentioned earlier in thread I did not think I needed a 90 degree DIN. Since the connection points straight down and the plinth is like 2” thick. 
TT does sit on a platform so as it comes out yes it will need to bend but nothing extreme. Looks like most DIN have 2-3” of flexible section before it gets thicker. 
Should be all good…..So yea just have to pick one now. Tonearm takes 2 months to ship from Project, none in ‘Merica. 
I have some time

Cheers

I just purchased at TA with 5 pin DIN. The standard appears to be 5 pin Male at the TA, but you should ask just to be sure. The cables I looked at were all 5 pin females at the TA to RCA, so it worked fine. Much easier and direct than the connector that VPI uses on their Prime with some weird connector to a box to RCA. It works fine, just kinda weird IMHO.

thanks for catching me showing the wrong connector, I was just paying attention to the length of the narrow diameter portion. All my ’din’ connector arms are 5 male pins in the tonearm post, female 5 pin din in the cable (ground and rca l & r other end).

sadly, the used Jelco SA-250 arm I bought from Germany has left channel, no right channel, no hum. I ordered a new multi-meter tester to check the continuity, it arrives tomorrow. Seller insists it was checked/ok when sold. It was nicely protected, if seller is truthful, it could have had a hard fall during transport. 

multi-meter / battery tester has buzzer to indicate continuity 

My repaired UA-7082, and Jelco SA-250 gives me 3 removable headshells instead of former 1 only

prior, Mission 774 LC was made by Jelco, same compact heavy Titanium Weight. I had to ease the post hole bigger, Mission is s/p 210mm; SA-250 s/p is 214mm
