Have lost the interconnect cable (pin/blade) for these speakers in a move. Does anyone know where I can get one? Polk has only blade/blade left in stock.

I can only think of two fixes for your problem.
1. switch out old p/b connector for a nutrik or
2. make on from a RCA connector that you've cut petals off from. This you will need to find one that is tight as some have some play so they do not work as good.

I thought they also made a 2 pole 90* but only seen 4 pole on PE...

Thanks for the information. Assume a single conductor cable will work? Photo shows 2 conductor #12 wire? -
The original regular pin/blade SDA cable was two conductor, 16 gauge. Both wires were connected to the pin.
Take note that the RCA pin idea isn't the best choice as the pin will not be snug, which was the case with the original pin/blade. The blade was used to support and help hold the pin in tight.
A much better solution is to replace the pin/blade socket and cable end with Neutrik SpeakOn connectors.Political Correctness'.........defined

Yes both wires were soldered to the center pin on the connectors so a single conductor will work as the blade was for support. These seem to fit tighter that most rca pins.

A better solution is the Neutrik Speak On connectors but more work.POLK SDA 2.3 TLS BOUGHT NEW IN 1990, Gimpod/Sonic Caps/Mills RDO-198
