I mentioned in another thread that I've got some requests to build multicades for some friends. And while the rigged harness I've got in mine is fine for me, I'll be making proper harnesses with crimped ends and connectors for theirs.

It then occured to me that it would be just as easy to make 50 as it is to do 10. So I'm checking to find out if anyone on here needs one or two. Or twenty.

Planned specs:
$10 each shipped. Combined shipping for multiples. Have to find out actual shipping to lock that in.

4' for uprights. 2' for barcades/cocktails. Same price, just less clutter in your cab. I'll entertain requests for custom lengths.

6 pin Happ trackball to 6 pin xxx-in-1 PCB CON3-4 connector.

Color coded and bundled wire for that professional appearence.

I've looked but haven't found these available anywhere, so if you have a source, please share and save me the trouble. :)

I'll also be cross posting this to BYOAC so if you have an account there, please only respond on one board so I'll have an accurate estimate of interest.

Thanks!

But with shipping, it's easily close to $20. So if you can pull it off for $10, that's a good deal.
 
Ouch!

That looks to be exactly what I want to make. I'll doublecheck my source costs, but I think I'm pretty close to on my mark for the price. I'll get solid numbers out there if there's enough interest though.
 
I would be interested in one of the 4' ones. Heck, mine wouldn't even need the 60-in-1 connector attached. Just the connector to plug into the trackball connector.

If you're just needing the connector and can crimp or solder your own pins, they carry it at Radio Shack for $2.59.

Catalog #: 274-236. It's a regular stock item.

Yea maybe you're right. I just need to find the right pin tool and pins to be able to use. Some of the simple parts of this hobby still slow me down.

(I did however correctly adjust the b+ voltage on my Donkey Kong machine the other day so I am making progress. :) )
 
You asked if anyone sells them.

I've seen them at TwistedQuarter.com for $7.99 each. Now I am sure that if you order just one your price with shipping would be way higher than $10. I know others carry them but they were the cheapest. Many places sell them as Golden Tee trackball harness but they are the same thing.

Hope that helps.
