Seeking a unicorn ribbon cable

I'm looking for a ribbon cable for my Technics SU-V98 amp. Same cable was used on Panasonic and Marantz devices. This is the cable that connects the SU-V98 to a Technics SFS-98a tuner. ( I don't have the tuner, but will buy one if the cable, or. a working substitute, shows up. Without it, I can't use my original equipment remote control, which I bought separately online, and appears to be in fine shape. I have found three different part numbers for this:

SWKUV98KM1
REX0052
SJP2257T

Unobtainium??

Thanks to all. Any help is appreciated.

Unlikely it's a bespoke connector
Could be like the amphenol connector on the tonearm output to phono cables on the Magnepan arm, NLA, which necessitates replacement with usually a DIN connector. In this case a different ribbon could probably work. Don’t know without pictures.

let's see the connectors. There are popular mods with PCB tube guitar amps that replace the ribbon cables with individual wires, using the same connectors. I'm not sure if you can re-use the connectors, but perhaps its possible to replace the connectors and use individual, 20-24ga wires?

Can you post photos of the cables and especially clear close-ups of the connectors?

Thanks!
