1040STf 13 pin monitor cable?

[Tupin]

I just got a 1040STf and an SC1224 off of Craigslist. It however, did not come with the cable to connect it to the ST, my version of the SC1224 doesn't have the cable built in. I cannot seem to find a direct 13 pin-13 pin cable, anyone have any advice?

That's too bad. I think only one of the three SC1224 models actually has a detachable cable too. Best Electronics should have one in stock. Probably B&C has it as well.

Ends are available if you feel like building your own. I typically buy a cheap VGA extension cable, cut the ends, and wire up the DIN-13s. It's somewhat tedious, as the pics are very closely spaced.

 

If you don't want to to this, the ends are the same as used by Kenwood car stereo equipment for hooking up CD changers and Sirius/XM receivers. Those cables tend to be insanely long and rather expensive though.

Just my luck that I get a model that doesn't have the cable built in. At least it came with 95 disks and an ICD FA-ST.

Just buy a cable from Best or B&C? Yes they are going to cost you around $30 but it is what it is my retro friend!

 

You have no idea how many times I have had to do that over the years between my C= and Atari collections!

Got the cable. It works, but the mouse is iffy because it had no mouse ball and I had to replace it with one from a Mac. The place where you put it is so deep, I could only imagine it's a special kind of ball.
