23 pin D type connectors

[Stephen Coates]

Does anyone know where I an get some 23 Pin D type connectors (the Amiga RGB connectors)?

They don;t seem easy to find. I have asked ESR and they said that they are discontinueing them and only have the Male ones left.

Have you tried Maplin?

I've looked in the catalogue and can't see any.

Try a Google search for connectors as there are some companies that specialise in just connectors and cables.

Great to see this forum back, just reregistered after a lengthy break, hi all!

Well Stephen I have recently DIY re-towered my Amiga 1200 and noticed (although I cannot remember where I saw it, but have definitely read a tip) about your 23 pin problem.

I am fortunate to own already an official CBM monitor 23 pin-15 pin vga adaptor, and have no intention of using the external floppy drive connector in my tower at all so haven't actually undertaken this myself, but to cut a long story short I did find on my hunt in building a tower a guy that actually did a simple solution by cutting off the last two pins top and bottom diagonally off one edge of a 25 pin D connector, you can then bend reshape the outer metal frame, crude solution, but it works. If I find the internet link I shall post it, but its straightforward anyway..hope this info helps.....
