[sdiy] mini-din socket - panel mount?

[cheater00 .]

Dave and Paul,
those are DIN not Mini DIN. The following is a Mini din connector:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-DIN_connector

examples include the "small" ps/2 mouse and keyboard connectors (not
the large ones like for midi), S-Video, and some multi-voltage power
supplies.

Ryan,
one way to do what you're trying is to use the existing hole to lead
the cables out into a small box that has the larger connector you'll
want to use. The box can be out of metal and have a flange integrated
into it that will screw the small box to the original chassis. This
way you can always unmod the synth to its original state. The whole
contraption can be very stable. You'd put a rubber washer around the
flange, between the small box and the original chassis.

Cheers,
D.
