Ribbon cable on a MA6200

[jgscisum]

I have a MA6200 that I have rebuilt/recapped and during the service I noticed all the ribbon cables have delaminated from the covers that keep the wires in order and separated. Any source for these or a good repair others have performed???

I built it my self

I replaced the ribbon cable on the small power supply board (up front) with a cable from an old vcr found in the dumpster.

Relaminated mine with 10 minute epoxy a short segment at a time. It's rigid but good for the next millennium.

How is the ribbon cable removed at the power board end? I have removed ribbon cables before from other electronic boards and they always have some type of clip that needs raising or tabs that need squeezing to facilitate removing. I dont see any of this in the MA6200

As I recall, you simply pull perpendicularly to the board it's mated to. I used Kapton tape to repair any delamination.

+1 on the Kapton tape. Works great!
