I have a A5 ISB board which is used in the Racal  RA-6790/GM and RA-6793A 
receivers. 
It has a connecter known as W1 which has 34  pins soldered into the pcb and 
has a 
ribbon cable attacthed to it. I need to buy this  connector, but I don't know 
what it is called.
Racal is not very desciptive about there  components, which leaves you with 
little clue as to
what it is and where to buy it. please  help?

Hi Lee
 
I don't have a 6790 these days but, as far as I know, this is likely to be  a 
bog standard PCB cable header.
 
These come in various sizes but 34 pin also happens to be the size  used for 
3 1/2 inch floppy drives in IBM PCs and compatibles and you should  be able to 
get hold of an old floppy drive cable without too much  trouble.
 
If it's the PCB connector itself you need then any 34 pin header should  
again do the job.
Stripping one from an old motherboard or interface card is still  likely to 
be one option, but it should be much easier to buy just a 34  pin PCB header 
than a complete cable assembly.
