I've just purchased 2000pcs of Tyco Electronics/AMP 5-555237-1 MMJ plugs
as a last-time buy since these are being discontinued by Tyco. If anyone
needs some plugs or a cord made, now is the time to get in touch with me.
Those plugs should get here in a couple of weeks (possibly sooner), but I
still have 2-3 dozen or so on hand that I can use for making cables in the
meantime. Even with the discount I got when buying that many connectors at
once, it was still a very significant investment of money, so anything I
can sell now to help offset that cost would be a good thing.
I've also gotten my hands on another spool of DEC H8240 DECconnect cord,
so those who wanted some cables made with genuine DEC wire should also get
in touch with me now. I still have a small amount of ivory colored cord on
hand (probably 30-40ft) as well if anyone wants a few cables made from
that. I've mainly been offering the 10ft cables on eBay for $10.00 +
postage, but I can make them any length required for $1.00/ft plus $1.00
for two connectors.
I still have a limited number of other misc DEC MMJ serial adapters in
addition to the stock of new H8571-J adapters that I mentioned previously.
If you need something specific, drop me a note and I'll see if I have it.
I also found that I currently have 10 used (but good condition) H8571-J
adapters that I'll let go for $20.00 each since a few folks expressed an
interest in those.
I never imagined I'd get this involved with making cables as a "hobby",
but I don't turn a profit on these (I've gone in the hole on this stuff in
a huge way over the last couple of months), so I certainly can't call it a
business :)
