Four conductor panel mount plug

First, I miss Radio Shack.

I need a way to panel mount a four prong plug for a low voltage application. Two will be for my NCE power from the NCE wall wart and two will be for DC power from a wall wart. I have used Beau/Cinch Jones connectors as pictured in the past. These are still available on eBay, but both the male and female plug cost as much as a new Scaletrains freight car release.

I have seen on YouTube that the cool kids are using circular “aircraft” type connectors? I’m don’t know where to source these. I’m open to any type of low voltage plug. Thanks for any help.

Search for "aviation connector" on Amazon and you'll find all that you will ever need.  They seem cheap too.  As an example, this assortment is under $20.
