Where can I buy molex connectors with pins?

I'm discovering this now doing the Tank II... trying to find a crimper for Amp for less than $25-30 that doesn't crimp like ass is proving impossible.
Ken Layton:
Yeh those old Atari games used AMP "Commercial" and "Universal" Mate n Lock series connectors. AMP does make a cheap hand crimper tool for these series that's very similar to the Molex one and it sells for around $32. I've seen it at my local electronics parts jobber, but I can't find the tool listed in my catalogs.

I've seen it too.  Haven't dropped the cash on it yet and not sure I will.  I just don't like the concept of spending $32 on the AMP crimper and $15-20 on the Molex crimper.  How do you think I'd do trying both with just the HT1919?  I have a lot of pins to fix as well as 3-4 Atari games.
Ken Layton:
The HT1919 will work with AMP Mate n Lock series. If you are careful it works---I've done it.

Thanks.  I have to order a bunch of supplies for redoing connectors in all of those pinball machines anyway, so I'll do it at Mouser and throw the HT1919 in there for the ride.  The generic Radio Shack crimper I'm using now sucks - my crimps are secure but look freakin' awful.
