I need to replace headers and pins on my Congo. Where should I shop for them?

Great Plains? PBR? Big Daddy? Bob Roberts? Other?

Thanks!

Great Plains. Easy, fast and cheap shipping.  

If you just need one, I probably have one in stock I could send.  Its also suggested to get rid of the IDC connector and use a proper crimped connector.

Darnit. I thought so but I'm still waiting on an order from them. How long should it take?

So I guessing a bunch of these: http://www.greatplainselectronics.com/products.asp?cat=79 and these Keltron plugs? http://www.greatplainselectronics.com/products.asp?cat=81

What pin size? http://www.greatplainselectronics.com/products.asp?cat=80

Molex .156 Trifurcon. Not sure of gauge but probably 18-20 for those wires.

Do you have an IDC extractor? If not I am sure there is a screwdriver or beer opener technique. Someone here please chime in...


Ten SS games...but 8 is my limit!

NEVER reuse IDC. Total crap. ALWAYS replace with Molex trifurcon connectors.


Retiring soon...

GPE orders come USPS so it's hit and miss on delivery times.  I've had stuff show up from Ed in a week, and on the flipside had stuff take almost 4 weeks to show. (that's why I usually buy WAY more than I need for the just in case moments)
