Subject: [boughtandsoldbytheblind] DecTalk Express Cable and Connector Last February I did some research into locating such things as the cables, connector, and battery pack for the DecTalk Express. I had real good luck on the cables, but the battery pack has turned difficult at best. First the good news and I am copying a couple of folks who requested this specific information: Cable supplier: www.stonewallcable.com The primary cable for the DTE is generically called an MMJ to MMJ, but carries a DEC part number BC16E. The part is usually ordered as a BC16E-10, -25, or - whatever, where the "-XX" indicates the length in feet. Stonewall Cable uses a part number is SC-7021 and then you tell them how many feet you want it to be. I chose to get a 10 foot. The pricing is $5.50 plus 20 cents per foot, ergo a 10 foot cable was $7.50. Next we have that funky little connecter that you can't buy at Radio Shack. Generically this is called an MMJ to DB-9F. The DEC part number is DEC H8571-J and the Stonewall Cable part number is SC-9444-J. The price on this piece is $12.95. Shipping is whatever you want, but I like and they will provide USPS Priority Mail at the reasonable rate of $7.85 (this was last Feb.). I was going to order up a batch of cables and connectors, but when no one found an immediate need last Feb. I dropped the idea. It's probably just as well that each person handle there own. Stonewall takes credit cards and their phone number is toll free 800-525-3303. I loved there internet order form, but I also have the benefit of a couple of eyes. If I come up with a reasonable solution to the battery problem I will send it out. $115.00 plus shipping for the battery pack is outrageous. By the way, your savings by using Stonewall will be about $44, where authorized DecTalk suppliers are quoting $50 for the adapter and $14 for the cable. Mike "Mr. Frugal" Osborn Kay Malmquist
