Ed,

Did you ever find this part? I'm looking for one as well.

Thanks,

I'm not familiar with that particular jukebox, but 50-conductor ribbon
cable has been very common in computer work for SCSI internal drives and
the like. It typically terminates on a double-row female header with
insulation-displacing connections. Will something like this work?

If the original poster or the second poster can host photos of the cable
and the connectors used it can probably be reproduced easily enough.

I have an assortment of widths of ribbon cables, connectors, and the
tooling to put cables together. All I need are dimensions (length of
cable between connectors) and knowledge of the connectors used.

Experiment to find the best method etc
