Yeah,

his TB harness should work with the Beston T-ball.  You'll have to E-mail him to be sure. On the site it mentions the Happs T-Ball, but I think the optics on the happs are the same pinouts as the Beston.

The happs and betson TB pin out are exactly the same.  So the Oscar TB harness will be the easiest way to go.

However, you can buy a 6 pin molex (female) plug, two 3 pin plugs (the same as the brownish ones in your pic), one 1 pine plug (again, the same as in your pic), and wire (6 colors is the best); and build your own.

Heh, I didn't want to throw the build your own thing out there since he said he didn't know what he was doin'  ;D u_rebelscum is right though, not that difficult to wire up yourself, if you wanted to give it a go.

Q for those using this refurb Beston:

Does it come w/ a mounting plate?  If not will a 3" plate from Happs work?
