    Default Ribbon cable

    WTB A 25 pin ribbon cable with connectors on each end. I needs to be. 22 inches or longer. If you have a pachislo you are parting out I can sure use it on my Mu Mu World DX. I think they are fairly common in most pachislos, but I do not have one in my parts bin. Thank you for your help. 0117DA43-F730-46F2-991E-A36EAB08112D.jpeg

    25 pin? I thought those plugs are normally an even number. Got a picture of the connector it's self showing the pins and any locating lugs

    In the pic it's a 50 wire cable. No way to fix it? You can get ribbon cable and re-use the connectors you have. If you remove the upper part of the connector it will give you a little more wire to play with for soldering. Just be sure to isolate the individual wires afterward.

    Thank you. You guys are absolutely correct. It is a 50 wire cable. I (mistakenly) counted the rows. I might be able to fix it, but 4 are cut off really short. many others have scrapes through the shielding. I was just hoping someone had one in a parts machine, and could sell/send it. I usually save everything, but I do not have one of these.

    If you carefully disassemble the connector, you can replace the short wires with longer ones.

    Do you think it's the same pitch?

    Pitch is the distance between the pins, or holes on the connectors, center to center of each hole/pin.

    It's a good idea to measure pins over a distance and take the average. Ie measure between the centre of pin 1 and 11. Then divide by 10.
