I'm really surprised that Powerwerx doesn't sell just the 6-pin molex connector by itself anymore - at least their website doesn't list them anymore (that's were I last purchased a few).  Could be due to to many people blowing up their rigs due to improper wiring...who knows.

If you don't mind a minimum order, I believe DigiKey has the 6-pin molex connector.  Mouser's catalog has grown tremendously over the past couple of years and they might have them now.

And, as a suggestion, I *highly* recommended standardizing the "other" end of the power cables with Anderson PowerPoles.  Makes connecting and disconnecting radios and accessories quick and easy, especially for portable or Field Day ops.  West Mountain Radio recently released their "RigRunner" products which is what I've been waiting for for 2 years.  Well made and work well!

p.s  I just found this info on the web...
     "Waldom/molex power connector part number 19-09-1069-P is
     an exact fit for the 847 and other HF rigs".

I had a couple of folks give me some leads on power cables , but they were 
all over $20 or "sold out", need more suggestions.

How about a source for the molex connector?
