FWIW, I am an electrical technician by trade, and work with electronics engineers who prototype stuff all the time.  When they are making prototypes, they need Molex connectors and stuff all the time.  All you need to do is log onto Molex website, find what you need, and request "free samples" of stuff.

I remember when I was fixing my pinball, it used Molex headers and connectors.  I found what I needed online, and requested 3 or 4 of each thing (about 5 or 6 things).  Molex makes you fill out a little form including your place of business (I used "FJ Amusement Repair") and in about a week, there was a package in my mailbox at home with 4 plugs, 60 pins, 4 headers of one type, and 4 headers of another type.......all for FREE!!!  Free samples are the way to go!!

Try it,
FJ

Wico did this when I requested some parts back in 1988!  ;D

They aren't likely to be that generous anymore.

Oh I forgot to mention, there is a Canadian supplier called Digikey (www.digikey.com) which sell everything under the sun electronics.
