Anyone have a spare HP 16555-61605 in their parts box/for sale?

Enjoying my 16702A for a few years now, just pulled it apart to remove the runners, turn the 16533 into a 16534, add the PS2 resistors, replace the PSU fans, and clean the insides.  While it's apart, I am installing a 3rd 16717a, but the unit arrived without any cables.  I have the little butterfly board to board cables, and I've sourced the pod cables, but the unit is missing the little 1.27mm 2x20 cable you use to connect the various units.

Nothing showing on eBay, and I've been a lurker here for a long time (great source of information), so I thought I'd see if there was a cable laying around before I go trying to buy a non working (16715A, 16716A, 16717A, 16718A, 16719A, 16740A, 16741A, 16750A/B, 16751A/B, 16752A/B, or 16760A) LA board just for the cable.

The 16555-61605 cable is a 2x10 cable, not a 2x20 cable. The ribbon cable is 20 conductor, the connectors are 2 rows of 10.

If anyone wanted to try making one of these cables from parts, I believe the connector is a TE Connectivity AMPMODU System 50 111196-4 or 1-111196-8. I'm not sure what the difference is between those two connectors, maybe the 1-111196-8 is the lead-free version.

Apologies.  I knew that, but was looking at this page when I typed it out:

https://4gte.com/products/hp-agilent-16555-61605-ribbon-cable-assy-for-16752x-16760x-2-x-20/

and they have it as 2x20.

The connectors are somewhat pricey, even from Mouser/Digikey, so I thought maybe it makes more sense to just buy the assembly from the above site, but shipping is $24, so I'll try to assemble one from parts.

Thanks for the links.
