Thanks, Kirk. I appreciate the input.
I've looked on their website, the motor/controller manufacturers site, and all they have are connectors that look like heavier duty ribbon cable connectors, quick connect strips; and no panel mounts.
As far as passing inspection - its a DIY renovation of a nearly 60 year old turntable (how old do electronics need to be to be antique?). There will be no inspections.
At any rate,... I've poured ridiculous hours into trying to make the original motor function properly, and running to speed, and have grown quite attached to the table (love/hate thing at this point). I've gotten it to run, without seizing
I won't be selling this deck. If this effort fails, i might sell it. If it works, it ain't going anywhere.
I'm comfortable with the amperage rating of the neutrik connectors, and the sensor (xlr) voltage is only 5 volts and a microamp draw.
The neutrik stuff has a quality panel mount, and is quite affordable.
