Ribbon cable

[Textari]

I came across a heavy sixer this weekend with a damaged ribbon cable and a broken connector on the switch board. My question is, can I desolder a cable and connector from a light sixer and use it on the heavy? Has anyone done this before? Any help is appreciated.

I've never been in either console but looking at pics I see what cable you mention. As long as the connector fits/ is long enough/ and is soldered in the correct position, it should work. None of the wires seem to overlap each other on either console so as long as you wire them in the correct series and not match colors if they are in a different order, you should be good.
