You drove 1500 miles to maybe find the correct connector? Did I mention I'm
part owner of the Brooklyn bridge, and could be persuaded to sell my
interests in it for a reasonable fee?
Why would it be difficult to make replacement top
connectors? I must be
missing something obvious, but cant you just crimp ribbon cable onto
a pair of 36 pin edgeboard connectors? Or dont they make IDC connectors
of the appropriate size?
I tried everywhere for these connectors, they are a not-common .125"
spacing. I finally found some at a surplus place in San Diego. Had to drive
1500 miles to get them though!
I can dig out the name of the place, they had lots a few months ago when I
was last there.
If you find IDC connectors in this size/spacing, let me know. I will buy
some too.

Were the ones you bought usable with standard IDE ribbon cable? or were
they solder eyelet versions? I see Digikey sells these with solder eyelets,
but the smallest they sell is a 44 connector, and we're looking for 36...
I'm not in immediate need for this, but it would be a great thing to
buy a supply of while they are still available.
