I recall a 35mm installation that used an ac cable with a pre-built slip ring design. They built the turntable and film looper themselves, but sourced the cable from a film industry rental house. Might be worth an inquiry with a production house like William F Whites or similar. Otherwise possibly an industrial electrical parts supplier? Best of luck!
