I have not got as far along as I had hoped with this work lately. I have been playing tag with a kidney stone again for the last couple of weeks, Grrr!
As noted in the attached two photographs, however, I have been able to trim the cable to the required length, bind it at the appropriate spot at the Octal Plug end and install the Octal Plug Cover on the cable (oriented correctly).
This morning, I was able to trim the 8 conductors in the cable back enough they will extend about one quarter inch beyond the ends of the plug pins when fully seated for soldering in place. I have also been able to arrange the conductors in the correct circular sequence to line up with their corresponding pins on the Octal Plug.
Next step will be to tin the exposed copper stranding, and bend them all to line up with the plug pins. Then the actual soldering of the connectors to the Octal Plug can begin.
