Had to bag these 4-pin microphone connectors. Got the female side hooked up OK, but no way in hell these old eyes and fingers are going to get the wires soldered on those tiny little tabs on the male connector side.

For now, I'll just hardwire them. What do you guys use to connect steppers to control side?

Sigh, just looked at the connector for the spindle motor. This old-style microphone connector seems like a really poor choice for power to a 2.2KW motor - anybody tried to replace these?

Thanks,
