This is what USN radio patch panels looked like from WW2 at least into the
60's. Very reliable, however finding one or even the parts to use might be a
bit hard.

These days Id suggest F connectors on the panel and push on jumpers.

Subject: Re: Topband: 1/4" tip/sleeve connectors?
Greetings to the Forum
Would like to know if anyone has used this format of connector to move
beverage antenna
feedline around the shack?
While I'm sure that will make someone somewhere happy, that's one of the
most unreliable RF connectors around.
They are fine on high level audio outputs, but just barely make an
acceptable low or medium level audio input connector. They are generally
not good at all for RF stuff.
