Title: Needed - TG16 controller cord.
Post by: Mishran on February 10, 2012, 03:59:48 PM
My 4yr old daughter somehow got ahold of my TG16 controller under my wife's supervision while I was at work tonight and bent a couple of pins in the connector. Instead of informing me of what happened, the wifey decided to attempt repair, hoping I'd not find out what happened most likely, with a pair of needle nose pliers and broke one of the pins out. :( If anyone has a spare lying around they'd be willing to sell, please let me know. Thanks.

You may just want to get an 8 PIN DIN connector from Digikey, which would be the right size for a T-16 controller, but not a Duo or PCE one. http://parts.digikey.com/1/parts/264911-conn-circular-din-8-pin-male-sd-80.html

Mish, its got to be repairable. I would be happy to do so for you if need be.  I can solder well enough to fix that. Post a picture of it if you can so i dont make a lier outta myself.

Is there a minimum that you have to order, or can I just order that connector?

Yep, you can buy just one. They give different rates depending on how many you order, but anyway you slice it, those parts are inexpensive.
