A while ago there was discussion about the mini banana
plugs
used in this system.
On another project at work, we needed some mini banana
plugs, these sure look similar.
I found that Digi-Key stocks some, as part # 314-1403
(black, pack of 10 plugs, for $24)
and jacks 501-1051 (red) 501-1479 (black) and 501-1959
(green) for $2.05 each.
These are roughly 0.1" diameter plugs that squeeze down a
bit when inserted into the sockets.
Not claiming these are the same size as the DEC ones, but my
guess is they could be.

There are also some possible functional equivalents available in bulk
and cheap, from Aliexpress. They are in-line power connectors used by
RC enthusiasts. For soldering to power wires, and come in M/F pairs.
There are multiple sizes, but so far I've only bought the two sizes
that fit standard 4mm banana jacks, and 2mm sockets.
2mm:? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001041960728.html

But basically search for whoever has the best deal and shipping.
Obviously the 'gold plating' won't have much if any actual gold, but
it seems quite functional.
There are also multiple sources of very nice high flexibility, fine
stranded wire with silicone insulation. In a wide range of sizes.

Not to mention ultra-cheap heatshrink tubing.
It's nice to finally have multimeter probes that measure 0.0 ohms when shorted.
Unlike the usual cheap, thin core commercial leads.
