OT : Connector Search Tip

2001-05-05 by bruce@sigalarm.com

Sorry to go off topic, but the 'tron knowledge in this group must be 
tapped to find a strange item.  If you don't care about interconnects 
or such stuff.... DONT READ IT!

Ok, I am trying to repair a very strange piece of synth.  It would 
seem that it is possible to repair it, but to correct a design defect 
the best thing might be to employ a ribbon cable to connect 2 pairs of 
DIP sockets, both wide bodies (.600) one being 24 pins the other 40.  
So far I have only been able to find 3M that make ribbon cables with 
DIP connector sockets on the end.  That would be fine but no one seems 
to have them.

Any suggestions on where to look? Other manufactures?

Thanks a bunch, sorry for the off topic.

Bruce
