Where on earth (in European Union) do I find DIN-5-240°layout C5 Comms cables/leads?
I want to connect a couple of Meridian 500 series components.

I got mine off eBay, but you can look up switchcraft 12BL5MX at some of the large parts suppliers. Digikey/mouser are great to find PN's (they sell a number of 240 din connectors) that may be sold by more local retailers as well.

Thanks Colin, that's great, count me in for 2 or 3 if you have. I can wait until March, please notify when you get to Holland. I am in Greece, e.g. could bank transfer via IBAN.

Thanks MVirgil, that's good info. I tried with a local custom cable builder in Greece but they couldn't get hold of 240 din connectors easily, so I started searching for ready cables.

Hi Colin,

Any news? Do you still have the COMMs cables ? I am still looking for a pair.

Thanks,

George

I do still have the leads.

Unfortunately due to a family illness my trip to Holland was cancelled last minute and my next trip over is scheduled for July 12th. That's probably too late for you.
Regards
