Do you have any reliable source for DB-19 (ACSI) and DIN-14 (FDD) plugs, which ships worldwide?

Hi exxos,

did you take a part in this "group buy" and making of DB19 ?

Nope, didn't know anything of it until it was to late. Plus connectors hardly ever sell, so would be a bad investment.

8 GBP + P.P. is a lot of money... at least for me (total cost of my RTC clock mod was actually less than this). Maybe in UK there's not many Atari DIY makers, and international shipping is quite expensive. One I wanted to make 2 FDD cables, and finally I've managed to buy original cables in Poland for less than the cost of 4 plugs without shipping.

For my Megafile I've bought 2 DB25 connectors for (0.4 GBP each), cut them and make a proper DB-19 connectors out of them.
