I have to juryrig a video cable for an Amiga 600. 23 pin male on the back. What I happen
to have in my stash is a, IIRC, Amiga 1000 floppy cable, clipped at one end, mail 23 pin
at the other. Where do I find a female 23 pin thingee to drop into that hood? Anyone got
one? Stateside.
?Will I be successful in cutting down a 25 pin plastic receptacle and drop it in? I see
db25s at digi-key.com
(http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en/cable-assemblies/d-sub/1573638?k=2…)
but I don't see 23 and don't recall ever seeing them otherwise.

No affiliation... Shipping is a bit extreme for one, but didn't go up when
I added 100 to the cart. :)

That's what I did.
But that was 25+ years ago. Those connectors STILL aren't available?

Last time I looked, Cricklewood Electronics still had them. That's not
Stateside, and they were about 10 times the price of the other D connctors...
I hate to suggest this, but if all else fails, can you pick up an A520 (I
think that's the one) video ecoder/modulator on E-bay and raid the
conenctor from it?

Most D sockets are made by having the plastic insualtor in 2 parts. The
contacts are fitted between the pars, the metal shell is in spartsm it's
fitted round the isulator, and then rivetted together at the moutning
screw holee. If you cut one down, it is liekly to all fall apart.
The all-pastci IDC type are a possibiltiy. Just cut away the bit of the
insulator that goes into the mating conenctor, leave the body of the
conenctor intact. It won't look too good, but I think it can work. If you
don't want to use IDC cable. you can carefully solder to the IDC forks.

They're still common - Jaycar carry these as stock items. (Not in the US of
course, this is in Oz). The half dozen I have (picked up about 3 months ago
as a 'just in case' (no idea why, in 30 years I've never needed them....))
are branded Samsung.

Why not just buy a DB-23 connector and Hood?
http://www.connectworld.net/cgi-bin/cabled/05CQPDB23.html
Seems like far less work than chopping one up. Not that it's something I
wouldn't do.... For a late-night hack to get something working.. But
honestly, I had never even thought about doing that to one of these.
But if you're not in a rush, I'd go for a real connector and hood if you
don't have one laying around. The link above has connectors, hoods,
