Today I went to Radio shack and got me a six foot din cable and a six foot eighth inch stereo cable.
some shrink tubing and whella!!!
Din to eight inch converter cable for my Ipod.
there are only 5 pins on my Telefunken din connector so it was easy to figure out.
the outer braid is ground , black and yellow= left and right positive input.
red and white= left and right positive output.
in my case I cut these cause I didnt need them.
Check it out.
any questions please shoot em, it is easy if you can solder and shrink tube wires!!!

WOW! thats a great idea Frank,nice work too.... BTW, I've said it before but,that Telefunken is SSSWWWWEEEETTTT!!!!!!

Thanks Scott.
This Model is definitely very classy!!
Just like the Marantz.
And now that I can play my I-pod on it I like it even better

Cool,how does it sound compared to say a Jvc M70 Sharp GF8989 or the Conion C100F? Those are three boxes you have that I've had and know how they sound.

Compares very well to the m 70.
With richer bass at lower volumes.
it sounds really nice!!!

Cool,it really sounds nice then. Thanks for the comparo.

Nice work Frank! And please see the "Florida" thread!

That is so cool!!!! I did not know that one could find DIN plugs in the US and/or Canada... Being that they were more German (European) standards. State side, they had the RCA jacks... Well done.

I know because of the differences and stuff... With all the damn Bboxes I have from the US/Canada, Germany (Europe) and Japan, tons of those had to be made... single IN, single OUT, dual way... You did well!!!!!! Those things are needed as hell!!!!!!!

These connectors were actually quite common here in the US.
I have used them to link MIDI devices together.
like drum machines and sequencers keyboards etc.
so they can pass data to and from each other.
MIDI stands for musical instrument digital interface for those not in the know.
I think they were also used for balanced audio connections with a bigger connector of the same style with a locking tab.

Ahhhh, right... We learn something knew everyday!

Then what year did the RCA jacks come into use (for us the consumers)? Any one know?

Might have a look on the net...
