A friend of mine just purchased an SX through a mail order clearing house.  The
machine came without any cords or cables.  Now the power cord is no big deal, &
has been taken care of, but the modified DB25 cable used for connecting the SX's
keyboard to the main unit has connectors that are undersized and one of them
has a 90 degree bend to it.  We've pretty much tested the machine using the
cable from my SX, and sending it back could mean never finding another.  SO,
anyone out there (from Commodore or eslewhere) have any idea of how to obtain
the PROPER cable (I'vemanaged to get him up and running by taking the covers
off the ends of a regular DB25 and cutting away some of the metal (or was it
plastic?) from the plugs themselves.  This seems kinda Mickey Mouse.

Thanx in advance for any help.
