I have a B&O turntable with its audio output cable missing the 5 pin
180 degree DIN plug. Conductor colours are: red, blue, yellow and brown, plus the copper shield. Can anyone please tell me which wires go to which pins of the plug?

What does this have to do with 'Design'? That is a 'Repair' problem.
Measured mine:
Facing the male pins on the turntable 5 pin connector: O O-----stereo 1 O O-------stereo 2 O-----------combined ground of 1 and 2
Confirmed by checking my adapter cable(female 5p--> 2 tulips) Stereo 1 is red tulip. stereo 2 is black tulip. and the tulip grounds to the middle pin. My B&O turntable is in indefinite storage, replaced by a Dual CS 505-4. The only thing wrong with the B&O was dried out lubrication. I bought it at around 1969.
Don't worry. It's OK that you don't know.

I wouldn't have to ask someone else if I needed to make that repair. That's what a meter and a mind is for.
Did you forget to take your Metamucil today?
Thanks, Rich
I've never needed Metamucil.
Female socket of a 5pin DIN for audio recording and playback of line level signals.

outer shield----------- U
white-O O-----red yellow---O O-------black O-----------ground
Normal phono headshell colour coding: red = right sig green = right rtn white = left sig blue = left rtn
If the B%O connections are to a phono cartridge or tone arm, you can match pairs by checking their continuity/resistance.
