    Hammond T-100 Chop connectors

    Come the spring I'm planning to chop my 1974 T-102 in order to make it somewhat portable.
    The problem is that I play pedals and I'm not prepared to lose them in the chop.
    I'm planning to build a 'box' for the pedals, to split the organ into 2 parts (although 3 if you count the legs/sides).

    Anyway, in order to separate the pedals I will need connectors and cables to plug them into the finished organ.
    There are 21 leads in total coming from the pedalboard, which has been separated from the amplifier.

    So, does anyone have any ideas for a cheap connector (or set of connectors) that will do this job for me?
    The main criteria are that it's got to be cheap, but not involve too many different connectors (3 or 4 max).

    Thanks

    P.S. I am definitely not averse to ordering from Ebay or AliExpress, happy to wait for parts to arrive from China.

    Oh, and I've already done all of Carsten's mods, and have almost finished my Mig-T, just waiting on some electrolytic caps to finish it off.

    Use a pair of D-25 connectors that are intended for printer connections on a PC. Very inexpensive.

      I'd already looked at VGA connectors, but somehow the 25 pin serial ones had escaped my mind! Thanks very much, that's what I think I'll go with.

        I used DB-25s on my L100. Work perfectly.

          I used SCSI connectors for my A100 chop. They've worked flawlessly for 18 years now.

            When you say SCSI are you referring to the DB-25 that Apple used for it or the Centronics 50-pin variety?

              Yes, the Centronics 50 pin connectors. I believe they were made by Amphenol.

                Ok, cool. I guess I'll go with whichever I can find more cheaply, since I only need 21 of the connections.
