Daryl,
I have bought various kinds of connectors and wires at Electronic Parts Stores
and Radio Shack and made cables I wanted hare.

Once I made a long (6') extension cable for the C=64 system with M and F DIM-8
connectors.
I think DIM-8 is correct, could be DIM-6 been a long time I did that job.

Does the MFJ cable use standard connectors where You could build one if it
needed to be replaced? (That is when you have gear to use it with).
