A while back there was some renewed action on trying to find the source of the GB1 ribbon cable. It was pretty clear that it would be a certain impossibility to find, I figured I try to make one.
I did a few tests, I found the right colored wires (stripes included) and here is what I came up with:
Unrelated note: this is my 1/6 scale pack I made like 6 years ago:
You are planning on selling these, right JM? They’re frickin’ perfect!
I’d be down for 2.

Thanks guys.
Yes, I am pretty proud of how they came out.
As far as selling, what would be of more interest:
Hint: one will cost you less
I’d be in for a low cost… but I build most of my stuff, so it doesn’t count. LOL
How much brighter do you think it should it be?
I make great parts, never said I was a great photographer.

I’m just pretty happy that we have two fantastic versions of this ribbon cable that are in progress!
Nice work on the GB1 ribbon cable
See, I grew up in the 80’s and “gay” was a term people used to indicate “silly” or “stupid”.
And back in the early half of the 20th century “gay” meant happy. So if I said, “Spectrastrips are happy” it would have made no sense.
If I said “Spectrastrips are homosexual” that would have made even less sense.
If I said, “Your mom was great last night”, that would have been insensitive.
EDIT - No fair nosilliT you changed your reply!
wow! Do you have a better pick of the 1/6 scale? There are a lot of talented people here. : )
Im interested… As long as you can post to the UK?
