    Any recommendation on source for ribbon cables? Specifically looking for Ribbon cable set for SYS 11B (Whirlwind) at the moment.

    Great Plains Electronics should have it, and if not they can make them for you.

    They're also fairly easy to make yourself, I just ordered 20ft of cable and some end connectors off digikey

    Thanks. No special tools needed to make them?

    A vise can suffice.

    I have redone the sys speech card ribbons in the field with just a big pair of pliers. Old computer IDE hard drive ribbon cables work perfect for sys 6 speech boards. Vise would work a lot better.

    Who has the best deal on spools of ribbon? I should buy myself a roll of common sizes.
