I would use octal sockets and plugs. Either can be purchased with a shell for attaching to a cable end. These have been successfully used for many years in ham radio gear carrying up to 750V or so. Heathkit used the 11-pin variety, but those might cost more.

Good thinking. But still need a bit more help.
Since I only need 4 pins, I could use tube socket for, say, 300B. But is there a male plug which will go into this female socket?
Or the same question for octal plug?
I don't recall seeing less than 8 pins on a round male plug w/shell, at least not anything made since the '60s. Plugs with a keyway (usually 8 or 11 pins) are more common and more convenient to use.

Where can I get the Octal plugs and sockets? I have had some difficulty finding a supplier.
Here are the plugs, then you will need whatever flavor of
octal tube socket you like and you are good to go.Cal

Surplus Sales of Nebraska has the 11-pin variety:

They also sell the Cinch-Jones type, but I don't know if they have a matching set with the correct gender for a complete system. It's important to construct the system so the male ends can never be exposed with high voltage. IOW, the power supply would have a socket (female) on the chassis, and the power supply end of the cable would be a plug (male). The other end of the cable would either be permanently installed in the amp/preamp, or it would have a cable-end jack (female) that mates with a chassis-mounted plug (male) at the amp.
