Pair of Vintage 5-Pin Amphenol Y-Splitter Cables
Hammond / Leslie Organ Restoration - Pins 2 & 4
For sale is the matching PAIR of vintage 5-pin Y-splitter cables shown.
Each cable measures approximately one foot long and has one male 5-pin connector splitting to two female 5-pin connectors.
Both cables have been checked with an ohmmeter and their wiring has been mapped.
VERIFIED WIRING:
Each Y cable is wired:
- Male Pin 2 → Female #1 Pin 2 AND Female #2 Pin 2
- Male Pin 4 → Female #1 Pin 4 AND Female #2 Pin 4
- Pins 1, 3 and 5 are not connected
- No shorts detected
WHAT ARE THESE / WHY WOULD SOMEONE WANT THEM?
The unusual wiring is an important clue to their likely original purpose.
In the traditional vintage Hammond/Leslie 5-pin connection system, pins 2 and 4 are associated with the AC-power portion of the interconnect.
Because these Y cables carry ONLY pins 2 and 4 and split those connections to both female outputs, they appear to have been made as power-distribution or splitter adapters for vintage Hammond, Leslie, tone-cabinet or related organ equipment rather than as ordinary audio Y cables.
Potential uses include:
- Vintage Hammond organ restoration
- Leslie speaker / tone-cabinet projects
- Vintage organ power-distribution arrangements
- Custom Hammond / Leslie installations
- Replacement for a missing specialty splitter cable
- Vintage organ and tube-electronics projects
- Donor source for vintage 5-pin connector hardware
- Projects specifically requiring a pins-2-and-4 Y configuration
WHY THIS PAIR IS USEFUL:
This listing includes two complete matching vintage Y-splitter assemblies.
Together the pair provides:
- Two vintage Y-splitter cables
- Two male 5-pin connectors
- Four female 5-pin connectors
- Approximately 1 ft cable length per splitter
- Verified pin configuration
- Continuity and short testing already performed
Fabricating an equivalent pair would require sourcing six compatible vintage-style connector ends and assembling two splitter cables.
CONDITION / TESTING:
Both cables were tested with an ohmmeter for continuity and shorts.
The cables remain flexible and the outer insulation appears in good condition. Connectors are also in good used condition with normal cosmetic wear consistent with vintage age and use.
Each Y splitter is approximately one foot long.
IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY INFORMATION:
These cables were not tested connected to powered Hammond, Leslie or other equipment.
Their likely Hammond/Leslie power-splitter application is based on the vintage 5-pin connector style together with the verified pins-2-and-4-only wiring.
Vintage equipment using similar connectors may be wired differently. Please compare the connector style and documented pinout with your specific equipment before connecting or applying power.
This listing includes BOTH vintage Y-splitter cables shown.
