Looking for Ribbon Cable

[Titanium91]

Hello,I need a replacement 12 pin ribbon cable for an Atari 2600.It connects the Cartridge port circuitboard to the main circuitboard.Does anyone know where I can obtain one of these?

 

Please E-mail me at Titanium91@aol.com if you have nay info.

Radio Shack sometimes have a 25 conductor ribbon cable but it seems to be discontinued so it might be hard to find. Also it's very long.

 

Alternatively you could look around in computer parts and swipe a floppy disk cable.

 

If you don't care for the original looking ribbon cable, any plain wires will do. I find the solid core to be easier than stranded core for this kind of work. You will need to remove the connector on one of the board.
