I have an idea. I remember once in school we had these DB15 connectors that had no pins and we had to cut our own wire to make the pins. I think it was brass or so.

Does anyone know where you can buy this wire to make the pins with? This way I can just make the pins a little longer on the NGCD ports.

These should be flat such as this guy... cause they have to sit flush.

I think those are also similar to the ones that someone had posted a guide for modding the old style sticks with.... (i'll have to search back for that one)

Anyone interested in a group order for the DIY S-video connector? I will buy like 5 or 6 then you guys just pay the cost plus ship and paypal fee? Lemme know cause I could use one but don't need to spend $20.

Since a lot of places discontinued Gold S-vid panel mount jacks this is another way to make one

Gold S-video jack:

Part #30-618, get this and hack off the small tab.

Then use the nut from this:

http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10426&cs_id=1042602&p_id=2993&seq=1&format=2

So you are looking at a total of around $5-6 for the s-video jack. Not exactly economical but an alternative.

Hmmm, thing is someone has to make sure behind that plastic is a removable nut like I'm hoping. If it is that would be perfect. You don't want to buy 20 and they're not.

Who's in Jersey, Hmmm Soniku.

I am going to attempt to hack the monoprice s-video connector, worth a shot for me.....

and that plastic cover should be removable, how is someone supposed to solder to it with a wire??? I would be 99% sure it is possible.

Ok, I got confirmation from THomas at Ram Electronics and he said yes the back is a hex nut.

Sure thing...

Did you find those black screws you were looking for? I was planning to use some them as well and was going to head to the skateboard shop near my house... I can check to see how flat the heads are on those if you are still looking.

I just went with electric guitar screws. I forgot to check the length though. We'll see when I get them.
