Well damn!

[flashjazzcat]

OK. I just ordered 25 for myself and I think someone like @tf_hh might be interested too. Perhaps a bulk order could be placed and distribution arranged for interested parties in the US.

I'd like 10 if someone would be so kind

 

[manterola]

I am interested too. I also want 10 or so. Someone in Europe might get 50 or so, sent it here, we distribute from here.. I can offer my help in keep them and "selling" them at cost + shipping cost  if you want (the connectors can be ship locally at a convenient rate since an envelope might be enough). Or maybe there is a better way to do it.

I asked a friend in the UK if he would let me order and have it shipped to him, he said yes but the website wont even let me order for UK delivery if the invoice address is the USA

My friend has been an absolute star and is ordering 50 of them for me.

What a find! Seems like a land rush on their remaining stock.

 

I would like to get 10 if someone is willing to remail to Canada... or more (20?) to have onhand for remailing from here too...

Hi,

 

I´ve ordered 10 pieces now to check, if they work out for the XL/XE keyboard connector REALLY. Will test all kind of mylar cables. When all is fine, I will order a few hundred pieces and share them with all other folks in the US and elsewhere.

That sounds great!

Hi all,

 

yesterday Conrad Electronics delivered the 10 pieces (really fast!) and it´s a win! They fit absolutely like a charm, no problems to insert any of the mylar cables found at several XL or XE keyboards. Of course the dimensions is also exactly like the genuine one used by Atari. So we found a cheap and reliable replacement for all of those broken or oxydized old connectors.

 

I´ve ordered today 100 pieces. They´re offered by me for 50 Eurocents each. Regarding the high international shipping costs, I would suggest to order only if you want other parts from me. I will keep them in stock as long Conrad sells them.

Hi Jon, don't suppose you have one spare that I could buy? Got a 65xe with terribly corroded pins , and I really screwed it up trying to fix it 🙄

I recently ordered 3 from tf_hh.  He links a PDF in his signature of what he has for sale.

Hehe... funnily enough, I have 25 spares. You can have one free of charge. Just tell me where to send it.

Thanks, but postage to the UK would make it too expensive

[manterola]

where are you located? I have a couple available.

I'm in the UK, thanks for the offer but Lord Flasheart is sending one for me 

[cx2k]

I could use three of these if anyone in the US has some spares to sell. Thanks in advance!

Hi John,

 

can I buy 2 of these please? Trying to get 2 65XEs up and running.

 

Regards

Did anyone come up with a replacement for the actual ribbon cable? My connectors fine, but the ribbon cable on my AWC keyboard is hashed.

Just sent an email... The connector on my 130XE is trashed.

Did anyone find a source of these in the US by any chance?
