New Slow Motion Cables?

[Guest]

This old Meade 114 EQ1-B telescope I'm using has a weird type of slow motion cable connection that doesn't seem compatible with modern cables and motor drives.

It's not the modern D section type fitting, but has a pin protruding through both sides of the spindle. 

Is it possible to get an adaptor or something for it? 

Sorry for the blurry photos.

Cables for D-type connectors always work themselves loose. This looks much better!

Maybe you can drill a second hole opposite the screw holes in each cable, so that you can use Meade's  pins?
