Black Knight
Williams, 1980I have been searching for a replacement ribbon cable to go between my BK sound board and speech board. Just haven't had much luck, or anything I've found I'm not sure it is correct. Anyone making these or does anyone know where to buy? Thanks
Reach out to Peter at arcade parts and repair. He made a couple of ribbon cables up for me for different machines that were not necessarily available at the time. Great guy to deal with.

Quoted from G-P-E:What connectors? Pin count? and Length?
Presume it's this one:

Might want to count the pins but I am pretty sure this is correct @ $17 shipped.
Keep in mine one side is hard soldered to the board.

Thank you for the replies. I had seen the Joust one but wasn't positive it was correct although it looked right. Blake at Arcade Parts isn't making them currently. But I just found this one last night right before going to bed.

I should see it on Monday. Thank you Andrew, having not replaced one before it did look like I will need to desolder the old and solder the new one in.

I think I'd prefer the longer one. The tight bends I almost think are part of the reason they fail. Shorter one is cheaper tho.

Hoping if the first one lasted 39 years, this one will work long enough.
