In maybe 2 minutes of clicking I found these reasonably priced and using standard slidelock assemblies, sold brand new on both sides of the pond: http://www.computercableinc.com/ccinc/products.jsp?sub=AUI+Transceiver&id=2041 http://www.pacificcable.com/Picture_Page.asp?DataName=TRAN-6 https://www.betterbox.co.uk/products/5m-thick-aui-transceiver-drop-cable-m-f-et0022.html > FWIW, there exist adapters from slide latch to screw lock DA-15; I have > one I bought from L-com so I could attach a 10BaseT transceiver with > slide lock posts to my Pro-380, which has a screw lock DA-15 connector > for its Ethernet port. Slidelock assemblies and individual parts of those are sold separately, for all shell sizes actually, in retail quantities by the usual suspects (Mouser, Farnell/Newark, RS, etc.), so with suitably designed connectors (i.e. ones that accept 4/40 UNC jack posts rather than thumb screws only; not all unfortunately) these could be used to replace original screwlock bits. I used these sources on a couple occasions to replace damaged or missing parts. Maciej
