Ah,
The SII doesn't use ribbon cables, at least ours doesn't. There are a pair of motherboards that link everything together. The new receptacles are gold plated. I have gold plated male headers for the channel strips that I can add at my leisure. I'm tired, but also excited that this is finally done. The Molex part number for anyone interested is 0009483106 Here are some more pictures, with the newly installed connectors on the motherboards.

Thanks Greg. What type of connector did you go with, in particular, how does it interface with the ribbon cable?

The main problem with our 1986 Elite is the ribbon cable is pushed into the 'teeth' of the molex connector and that is it, job done. Which has never seemed to be a particularly stable connection.

Not familiar with the Series II, perhaps it's a different set-up.

You're plenty man enough. I just finished, and it took maybe 16 hours? Just get a good desoldering weapon, be careful, and go at it.

Heroic and inspiring. I use these words because our Elite needs the same treatment, and I am not man enough to do it.

Good job!
