I need The Plug - where can I find a 6-pin plug?

[Mr P Trog]

Does anyone have a source for a plug to fit the Buddy socket on the back of a futaba? Radio Shack was a dead end, and I dont want to cut up a ภ.00 US Futaba cord.

I found a 6-pin DIN plug on the rack at radio shack. So I could make a cable for myself. HOWEVER, it would be nice if anyone has a source for this plug that they share it to make any newcomers life a little easier.
The authors of this fine program are giving it to us for free. I don't think its real ethical to charge someone อ.00 on ebay for a cable to use it.
P.S. because it was on clearance I got the plug for only $.07 U.S.

I was able to find my plug at a local electronics store (not Radio Shack). The Radio Shack's here in OKC also have discontinued the plugs.

However, I have heard of some using old cables of the AT style keyboards for computers. You might give that a try. Even a new keyboard at a small computer store should cost less than ŭ. You will also get the cable you need from that purchase also.

Good luck.

They have them for around Ũ.59 at www.jameco.com, part #15886. I know they work because I recently used one in making my cable : )
