 You drove 1500 miles to maybe find the correct
connector? 
 Well the trip was actually to pick up a dual RX01 floppy drive from John
 Lawson in Los Angeles, the trip from LA to San Diego was to visit one of my
 friends who lives there.
 I found the connectors during a junk scrounge with my friend. 
Well, I went from Bristol, UK to Dayton, Ohio (via Boston)
in order to visit a junk emporium and buy:
     NIXIE TUBES!!!!
And I even got them back through the airport X-ray machines
without any questions... 
I bet you went to Mendelson's, my all-time favorite "Emporium of the
Electronic Junque". I get lost for hours at a time in there whenever I visit.
