Subject: surplus source for MRA connectors?
In particular, the MRA42P solder cup 42 pin "winchester" plug for
Diablo 31 disk drives.
parts scalpers are asking $75 ea, and have made web searching useless
looks like on-line surplus store catalogs have all but disappeared

Well, by one of those serendipitous coincidences only yesterday I was
looking at a rat's nest of cables including some with MRA connectors (mostly
only one gender of course, so not much use), wondering whether it was worth
cutting off the connectors and trying to get a few bucks for the copper or
whether to just toss it all into a dumpster somewhere. I'll see what there
is.
