Better not to power it on too often until you're
fairly sure it's dry,
though, because that does at least carry a small risk of shorting things
which should not be shorted.
Thanks, it will sit until the end of the week, under a big fan.

As a way of using the other connector, how about just
cutting the cable
and connecting each of the individual wires back together, instead of
trying to pull the pins out of the connector?

Splicing? If done right is a valid solution.
People splice aircraft
wiring all the time.
Yeah, aircraft mechanics with good tools splice aircraft wiring all the
time! Anybody else, I don't wanna know about it!
Anyway, I found out by searching pics on fleabay, the connector seems to be
a garden variety 4 post Molex connector. I will just order a package of the
connectors and the crimp-on pins and I should be good to go. Kudos to Sun
for not going out of their way to make parts impossible to find (although
that is not true for all their suppliers!)
Thanks to everyone for the comments.
