5 Pin DIN Color Code

[Colin Hirsch]

I have a B&O turntable with its audio output cable missing the 5 pin
180 degree DIN plug. Conductor colours are: red, blue, yellow and
brown, plus the copper shield. Can anyone please tell me which wires
go to which pins of the plug?

Measured mine:

Facing the male pins on the turntable 5 pin connector:
O O-----stereo 1
O O-------stereo 2
O-----------combined ground of 1 and 2

Confirmed by checking my adapter cable(female 5p--> 2 tulips)
Stereo 1 is red tulip.
stereo 2 is black tulip.
and the tulip grounds to the middle pin.
My B&O turntable is in indefinite storage, replaced by a
Dual CS 505-4.
The only thing wrong with the B&O was dried out lubrication.
I bought it at around 1969.

What does this have to do with 'Design'? That is a 'Repair' problem.

Don't worry. It's OK that you don't know.

Normal phono headshell colour coding:
red = right sig
green = right rtn
white = left sig
blue = left rtn

If the B%O connections are to a phono cartridge or tone arm, you can
match pairs by checking their continuity/resistance.
