Patchbays - Wiring Harnesses and Molex issues

I started working on the patchbays. I found 2 gently used 96 point TT bays in Nashville. I cleaned them up and de-soldered the original cable ends. I don't have a heat gun but I do have heat shrink in my "care-package"!... go figure. I will use shrink only when necessary...

I have the first mic snake wired up on Mogami 8 pair. The Molex pins on the mic inputs to the console are not removable. (14$ later for a molex tool... unusable) so I have to buy 3 hole 0.093 Molex conectors.
I will rewire them with some single Mogami I have. Just enough for 16 inputs to the bays.



My eyesight is so bad now that I have to use my readers to see the solder lugs.


I built a holding jig to hold the bay at the right angle.

I got Susan to assist me in clipping out the old mogami!
