Vintage Sennheiser MD421, MD441 connector

[tardishead]

Does anybody have a source and part number for these? I'd rather make my own than buy an expensive cable
Many thanks

Could've considered attaching a photo, or a more detailed description..?

Even the (ahem) "vintage" ones came in at least two different flavors, so... How're we supposed to read any minds?

Ah yes they have the 3 pins rather than the flat tabs. DIN, screw on.

Small Tuchel, Klein Tuchel / Kleintuchel, DIN 41524 (3-pin). Have fun

Not infrequent to find connectors on eBay (specifically in Germany, "obviously"), for comparable prices as brand-name XLR's. I grabbed myself a couple, a few years back.

Does 41524 designate the screw sheath or just the basic connector

Just the DIN-standard for the whole range of connectors, afaik.
Every 3-or 5-pin female connector will technically work, but of course you better look for the proper screw variant; I don't know of a universal designation for that - even Kleintuchel is more or less an informal way of referring to it.
