Consider it done.

Looking at the photo of the broken screw, I suspect the culprit attempted to undo it using a screwdriver. This is a mistake, as all the screw slots are in-line with the contact slot (twisting the screwdriver would deform the contacts) and the obvious assembly/disassembly method is with a box spanner or nut spinner on the rear of the connector. (Also the nuts are sealed with varnish, so may be very hard to undo without applying a suitable solvent (or heat) first.)

Thanks, Chris. Much appreciated. PM me if you need my address.

I was wondering about that broken screw as I could see they were visible inside the clips, but a screwdriver would have to be forced into the clip to access the screw, which struck me as a very unfriendly thing to attempt to do to the clips.

You have now confirmed my suspicion that the back door to the Connector Plug is the best avenue of approach.

When I restored my Canadian Marconi CM11 I noticed it used the same connectors. Males were on the cabinet back & females on the equipment.

Jerry Proc restored the same equipment on HMCS Haida and may have or know of where spares may be on your side of the pond. http://www.jproc.ca/
