Default Looking for a Pictor 416XT CCD Camera head cable to Control Box. (9pin mini-din connector cable)

I am looking for the cable used with the Pictor 416XT CCD camera that connects from the CCD head to the interface box. This cable is a 9 pin min-din connector on each end. If someone has this cable but does not want to sell it I would appreciate if you would contact me so the cable could be ohm'd out so I can fabricate my own cable.

Thank you

Steve

Meade might be able to help you with a pin-out.

I host the official MAPUG (Meade Advanced Products Users Group)
archive site on my website. A quick search finds these two URLs
that may prove useful:

http://thadlabs.com/MAPUG/AstroDesig...G/Pctor416.htm

http://thadlabs.com/MAPUG/AstroDesig...G/P201Strt.htm

I don't have any Pictor gear so I cannot questions about such.

The connections are straight through, pin for pin. No ohms, at least
none that I could measure.
