OPEN Connector Quest

So i just bought some connectors from ebay. These are the connectors that go on the pins of a tone arm catridge to the signal wires for a record player.

Ive tried to find what these are called and where to get them without paying 10 quid for four! There must be a company that bangs these out and costs peanuts, any help would be appreciated

They might be substituted with DB-25 pins.

!images of what you are talking about and the make/model of the record player will help.

Kindly Include some good images which will be helpful to others in diagnosing the issue. Without images and other context provided it becomes difficult to diagnose the problem.

While including images, make sure the potential areas of issue are high lighted and any important marking are visible, include as many as needed to help convey the required information. If required provide some context for the images. Images to include may be of the product with it's identification markings and the internal circuit boards.

Tbh, 10 quid for 4 for what is now a fairly small market is pretty good.
