be careful when purchasing replacement SIN plugs.  Many use a low temp 
thermoplastic that melts easily and can be a real bear to solder.  IIRC 
these are not mini DINs and are easier to solder even if they are the 
"cheap stuff"

For my 897D I used an Apple printer cable and cut one end off.  Twas 
cheaper from Amazon than one of the good connectors.
