I have a nice turntable with a Grace 707 II tonearm but no cable. The bottom end of the tonearm has a 5 pin female connector resembling a DIN connector. Does anyone know where I can find one of these or maybe how I can make one?

Forget that AudioQuest cable ,it is a female. I didn't realize that the Grace had a female plug!
Very difficult to find the male DIN connector as a separate connector.
I have taken older cheaper tonearms and used the internal male fitting for use with Grace arms ( after rewiring the arms for use with an PIB box or external RCAs) . You might want to check with tonearm modifiers for the extra parts they may have when doing such a mod. Sorry I don't have any at the moment.
Another alternative is to remove the female Din connector and attach a lead out to a junction box with RCA's making you able to use any RCA IC. If you don't want to remove the stock fitting consider using some connector headers, soldering a wire to each and inserting them individually into the bottom. More of a PIA but it can work.
Why not just buy a tonearm cable with a DIN already attached? There are many for sale like that. Am I missing something? Just curious!
Most DIN arms need a female connector (male connector pins on the arm bottom). The Grace arms are reversed. They have a female connector on the arm bottom so you need male pins on the DIN wire lead outs.
Thanks for the clarification.
Check out Needle Doctor. They sell AudioQuest Wildcat din to rca at $89.00.
There is a guy on ebay selling one. They are from Israel. They don't always show them you have to ask for one to be made.......
Any local dealer should be able to get you a couple to pick from....The bad thing is the DIN cables are harder to terminate, usually a little more expensive and have a limited selection. You will also need to know if it takes a straight or 90 degree angled one. All that being said you should still have lots to pick from.
