Why replace the edge connector? Get rid of it! Solder a ribbon cable to the backpanel, with a 15 pole sub D plug attached. Then a sub D socket to the module. Or vice versa. You will be delighted, how easy your modules can be fitted to the frame. If your ribbons are long enough, you are able to check your modules powered up. And you can change the factory preset...

  Subject: [Simmons Drums] SDSV Edge connectors


  Does anyone know where to buy the edge connector sockets for Simmons SDSV voice 
  cards, or even what to call them? I got as far as working out they're probably 0.1" 
  spacing between the card traces/connector fingers.

  Uh, a supplier in Australia would be nice ....

I just got an old computer card,  hacksawed it to be the right size,  soldered wires to it, soldered a dsub to the other end, and there you go, SDSV extender cable.

I am in melbourne if you wanna see it , copy it.

I'm assuming you mean an ISA card or something like that.  I'm not sure that your set 
up is quite what I'm looking for.  I need the socket the voice cards slot into, as I have 
a box of cards but no rack, so I'm looking to make up my own backplane for them.

I've seen an old internal PC floppy cable used elsewhere as an SD card edge 
connector, so I'll check out the pin spacing on that.
