Almost any decent electronic supply shop should have those. Or you could buy cables ready-made and customize from there.

Personally, I think 70 cents _is_ pretty cheap, but good luck.

anecdote:

There used to be a place called Olsen Electronics in Detroit when I lived there. They had really cheap parts. Some of the parts tended to melt when soldered. Cheap isn't always a good thing. ;-)

The connector is pretty easy to find relatively cheap.

Dig them out of a dumpster, you cheapskate!

That's one of the reasons Olsen went out of business in the early '80s! :) They were based in Akron Ohio and tried to expand too fast.
