Hey Gary

You should be able to buy one at any decent model shop, but here's a mail order one for you:

It's the second one down.

That said, and perhaps someone can confirm this, I think it is just a two core cable with a 3.5mm jack at each end (mono type, not stereo)?

Looks like it on my Dx7 Andy, but sure some technical bod will confirm!

Couple on Ebay Gary:

or HERE

Young Sam Thomas was after one of these some while ago.
I made two from Maplin bits. Suit JR and/or SPECTRUM
As Andy said, mono for JR and Spectrum (stereo seems to work OK for me either with twin core or just connect the tip and outer)

Requirements for 1 lead
2 right angle solderable plastic cased mono 3.5 mm jack plugs
1 length of high quality black pvc miniature microphone cable
Bits of heat shrink insulation for cable to plug each end and inside plug near solder contacts. Small amout of soldering.
How long ?
1.5 -2.0m but there were protests about long buddy leads on the forum.
I have found it doesn't seem to matter much at all .......

Why bother making your own ?
Each lead cost less than £3.
I noticed the web ones are £7-9 each plus £3 postage.

Parts
2x3.5mm mono jack at 99p Maplin FA37
2m Single mic cable £1.78 (0.89p/m) Maplin XR16

99px2 =£1.98
89px2 =£1.78

Total =£3.76 for 1 lead

Confirmation - yup its simple mono to mono 2.5mm jack and lead.

Or for those that prefer artf, buy one ready made up. Maplin supply them in 1.5 or 3 mtr length : -

£6.99 & £7.99

Thanks guys for your help, Is that all it is just a simple lead from maplins will do? if so then i will be heading there to get one

Yes, as far as I can tell, and I've rechecked their website, it should be fine

Good luck
