I'm trying to refurbish/repair a Yamaha DM1000 mixer for my own use, but this one has taken some hit at some point which has broken one 16 position connector from the board and that needs to be replaced.
It's:
Molex 52147-1610So 16 position, single row, 2mm pitch "wire trap" connector for 2mm pitch ribbon cable.
It's totally obsolete and the 16 position version is completely out of stock from anywhere I'm trying to find them from.
I've even asked from my local Yamaha repair technicians some help if they can find a broken board from any Yamaha mixer that I could scavenge one off from... but no. (Yamaha has used these connectors in MANY of their digital mixers released before ~2012)
If anyone has any good ideas where to find them or suggestions for "drop in" replacements (I'm not against completely replacing the connectors from both ends and even the cable between, as long as the connector fits the board) , I'm all ears.
The last resort would be to replace it with standard 1.27mm pitch IDC and use custom adapter PCB's that I'll draw and order... but it's such a hassle.
thank you for all the help you can give me
