Looking for some of these, I know Bob Roberts makes some nice semi-official Midway/MCR ones but $22 shipped is a little more than I am willing to pay at the moment if I can just use some 50 Pin SCSI Ribbon cables. Figure this is a good starting point in trying to get my Tron up and running as the original cables were dry rotted and flaking to a crisp.

Checked some local computer/electronics stores to no avail.

I will need 5 of them, if anyone has just the connectors I suppose I can looking into getting some ribbon and making my own.
 
You'd need the correct jigs, which cost money, to compress them correctly without damaging them. Yes, you can try a vice, but I've never had much luck with that, I usually damage something. (I used to have the jigs.) I think Digikey and many others sell them in varying lengths. But they aren't going to be free...

(If someone comes up with a good source of original style cables, I'd be interested in a set or two also. Bobs are fine, and I have some, but I like to stay as original as I can.)
