Hi all, working on my 8656B sig gen, and managed to break the IDC Centronics connector , so the cable is no longer attached. Is there a suitable replacement available taht is not too ex[ensive. Have to replace teh mains socket as smoke came out, still waiting on that, and it cost over $86Aus? from RS on its own.I don't want to spend more than the device is worth to fix it, not that I am likely to use this port
