I had a thought, that if the pin spacing was on par
with say a common 15-pin
VGA male connector I could buy a bunch of dirt cheap Golden Dragon ones, set
them up in the mill and run a high speed slitting saw diagonally between the
pins (right though the block and metal surround in one go), and just add a
plastic spacer to bump it out to the length of the 19-pin. After all there
are only 6 pins used, and of those, just one (assuming common) that would be
on the extended bit.
Cutting-down a DA-26 might be a better bet, and they're only pennies more
expensive than the DA-15 VGA connector.
