Lexicon 200 - Need Source for Flat Flex Cable

[echo zulu]

Hi,

I'm repairing an old Lexicon 200 reverb and I need a new  cable for the display board. The cable is similar to this in style, but has 24 pins and no exposed contacts. I need something about 1" in length, but could probably cut down something longer.

Google searches turn up nothing.
Anyone know where to get such an animal?

Parlex flat-flex cables.

Parlex flat-flex cables.

Thanks but those are all designed to insert into connectors. I need the "old school" type that have 0.1" (2.54mm) pitch solder pins.

Thanks, ijzerpro - that looks like the correct one!
I'll have to order it from the UK which will bump up the price (I'm in the USA), but at least I can get it  .

.1 inch pitch ribbon is as common as dirt. Go down to the nearest computer store and ask for a peice.
