ARP Avatar pickup cable

>I have an ARP Avatar with pickup but no cable.  Therefore, I'm trying to
find a source for the connector coming off the hexaphonic pickup to make
my own cable. It's 6 pin, arranged circularly with a radius of about .25". 
The weird part is that the "circle" is split in half with half being male
and half female.  That is there are 3 pins and 3 sockets in each
connector.  So two of the same connector can be connected together (I
guess there are no male/female types).  A friend told me they've seen
similar connectors used for video.  Anyone have a source for (a) an Avatar
cable, (b) this type of connector, (c) a general connector mecca that
might carry it?  Thanks.

Hi Dave:

This sounds exactly like a connector that Lemo USA makes.  I recently
bought two connectors like that for a Tektronics spectrum analyzer I own. 
Lemo makes the connectors in several sizes with many options for
backshells, cable clamps, etc.  I recommend you get a catalog from them so
you can match up what is on the pickup to what is in the catalog.  The
number for Lemo is 800 444-5366.
