I never seen that connector before.
Maybe someone like Cyril Jones could provide some info
Do you have an Helios Console?

I just messaged Cyril the other day asking for some info, I will forward this question along to him as well.
I just bought the monitor section as it was all that was available.
I'm not certain, but believe it is the monitor section from the Island mobile unit.

Those vaguely remind me of Painton connectors that Neve used, except the connectors on the Neve desk frames were female.

I will search Painton connectors and see what I can find. Thanks for the tip!

May be Plessey?
"All types of multi way connectors male and female, made by Plessey and known as Plessey or Jones Connectors"
Plessey Jones Types
"All types of multi way connectors male and female, made by Plessey and known as Plessey or Jones Connectors"
Plessey Jones Types
That appears to be the answer. I searched Painton and found Plessey connectors that look like what I need. Thank you for your response!
There was an amazing thread in PSW forum on Helios, it was long and had a lot of info, I think it was called "The Helios thread", I can't find it now because that forum seems to be down at the moment
If you mean the RE/P Forum on PSW, it's working, but they've done some updates (like, last night) and you may have to jump through a hoop or two to access it. Me, I got a skill testing question to prove I'm not a robot. A quick search for "Helios" turned up a lot of results.
Unfortunately the photos are long gone, it's a shame as there were amazing pics , but the info is all there.
Do you have a link to that thread?
I cant seem to find it
I found the thread,

I am not aware of any specific articles yet. If I stumble on any info I will definitely let you know.
That's a great pic of the console!
Crispin from Helios looked through documentation and was unable to find schematics but said he will send me some pics he found when he gets them scanned. I will post what he sends.

Thanks for the links. I made it through the whole thread finally!
Well, as luck would have it...these are not Plessey connectors. At least not any that I have found.
From the research I've done they appear to be a hermaphroditic type connector that I cannot find anywhere.
It's looking like I'm going to have to do this the hard way. I really didn't want to replace the original connector...
Does anyone else know what they are?

Painton? Like used for the early Penny and Giles faders. Neve used them a bit.
They look a bit like the Tuchel connector used on the MCI desks. I have a box with some of them in it in my storage unit. Could grab it next time I'm there.
I will look into both of those. I originally stumbled on the Plessey Jones connectors when searching Painton and thought that I had found it. Thanks for the suggestions!
Ike, if you happen to go there before I post here that I've found them that would be great! Thank you again.
