Quoted from KenLayton:Any chance of getting them reproduced?
At this point, anyone could reproduce connectors w\o the need for permission from Rick. There's a chance they might have been patented, but those would have been long expired on EM games (and soon most SS\DMD games!).
There's no way a connector could be trademarked or copyrighted, so these kind of parts would be fair game for anyone to reproduce.
