Anyone know where I can get a NG controller connectors?

So a few months back I came across Ben's MVS consolize project page. Being intrigued, I went to ebay and snapped up an MVS board for literally pennies. Now I went back collected a wire harness, rgb converter, and an ATX power supply. I couldn't get the controller ports right away, so I waited. Now I was just going back to check Digi key only to find they no longer stock the part.

I've been searching on mouser and digi-key, but I don't think some of them are even remotely close. Anyone have an idea?

You can use regular DB-15 male connectors, the controller end will just stick out a little more than with the proper ones.

You wouldn't happen to know any parts number off hand, would you?

Hmm, don't know part numbers off hand, but I do know their search engine works pretty good. Also, if you live in the Twin Cities area in Minnesota try Axeman surplus hardware, last I checked that had a 5 gallon bucket full of DB-15's for 15 cents each.

Really? Is that the one off of University in St Paul? or a different one?

Yes, that's the one! University and Fry, to be exact. Cool store, IMO. You been there before?

Tons...can't get enough of it. I get in such a hurry to get there and then I completely forget what I want to buy. Then I just sit and stare at the various doodads and their implied purpose. If they have sub d connectors, I'll check 'em out. I live in Burnsville so its a little bit of a drive for me. I just received some sub d's from Mouser only to realize I ordered the shell and not the pins. D'OH!!!

Hey, did you know there are other Axe Man locations around? Check their website they might have one closer:

They have one in Fridley I go to when I'm not living at UST, it's closer to home for me. They also have on in St. Louis Park. They used to have a 4th one, but I think it's closed now.

Well I know they used to have one in the Bloomington area years ago, but that closed too. According to their site, its just those three locations.
