Maybe not an MS -- that would be too easy.  Also be aware -- I think they
have new designations for some of the connectors, maybe just M-something and
a different number.  Some time ago, I did find a web site that had a good
cross reference on it.  Of course, they almost never have the odd 26 pin
connector for the RA6790GM listed.  That reminds me - I bought some of those
from a guy who has a website -- maybe he has the R-1051H dingus.

Another possibility is William Perry.  He might even know offhand.

Uh ... you better walk, not run to the bathroom tonight because I think you
just jinxed yourself.  (I have an extra large band-aid on my shin right now
to prove that theory.)  Also, if you have an R-392, be careful, they like to
hide in plain site --  camo OD, small with a low profile, but heavy enough
not to skitter away if you kick 'em..  They have to be kept on the bench or
in a closet at all times.  Also very gnarly -- especially the finned cabinet
versions.  And no - -not under a desk or bench either.  Of course, an
up-ended 1051 can give you a good ol' 1-2 -- first the shin, then the foot
when it falls over -- the wrong way.  They're stable -- unless provoked.

Where's the Debeg 2000 -- still in the fixin-ta get ta-fixin-it pile? (Like
you know whose?)

I'll see if I can find that link to that connector guy - but had trouble
finding it the last time ....
