Yes, it's a dual in-line layout, except it's not a socket - the older,
junked SR16 I have for spares and such uses a socket, but the
functional one I'm working on is soldered directly in with.. I wouldn't
say it looks like an IC, but hey, it's black! I see some assemblies in
the Mouser catalog that may be appropriate, but they are few in number
and not in many different sizes from what I can see. I'll have to try
to take some precise measurements of the existing assembly and I may
have to hit pause on this project until I am able to locate a service
manual, assuming that it will help me locate the right kind of
assembly. Thanks for your reply.<br>

Hi Juju<br><br>Are those the type of ribbon cables with the DIP socket ends ???<br><br>If so you can buy cable assemblies from Digi-Key pre assembled in<br>various lengths. I'd recommend those. They cost a little bit, but ribbon
