Slighty OT.... where to find straight phone cable?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Le Chuck:
Have you tried a flea market or goodwill, seems you should be able to pick up an old phone np and goink the cable.  Hell, I've got one on my desk - but I'm using that one, if I cruise around this building I work in I can probably fine a busted handset in a drawer some where that could donate a cord. 

BadMouth:
I'll check my parts bin tonight.  I have the pcb and cables from an old PS2 wheel, but I don't recall whether I'd need to keep that connector for the pedals.
If that connection is just to pass through the shell of the wheel and there is a different connector to the PCB, then I don't need it.

Same here --- I think most of the lines between base and receiver are coiled so you get a longer distance when stretched without hanging on the floor when not in use ! -- maybe cut the ends off a coiled wire and rewire your old one that failed using the new connector.

Here's one that has a 4" leader on one end that is straight you could use to splice onto the old one for example -- ( http://www.showmecables.com/product/Black-Gloss-Coiled-Handset-Cord-Extended-Lead-6-FT.aspx )

Radioshack might still carry them... I'm pretty sure I have some in a box somewhere... I might even have a crimper too  :lol

Howard_Casto:
Eh it's not a huge deal... I was just asking because it's something I need to get around to fixing.  Somewhere in my buildings are literally crates of useless wire that came packaged with devices.  Hopefully I'll find one in there.  If not I'll probably just do like JD said and cut up a coily one.
