I managed to get some complete cables from Bob Rosenbloom so I think I'm set.
It sure would be nice if they wouldn't have used connectors on .125 x .250" 
centers

You'd think there would be piles of them around since 
they were used as

the interplanar connecting cables in lots of IBM products.


Oh wow!  Yes, I may have some of these laying around 
somewhere.  I will look, it might be a few days.

paddle boards.  I also have 4 of the SLT-style connectors 
sawed off of the some paddle boards.  Those are quite 
dirty.  I don't know if any of this is of any use to you.  
But, the contacts inside the connectors might be helpful in 
reverse-engineering them.

I'm making some replacement cables and paddle cards so I'm on the lookout
