Hi I'm looking for a replacement of the controller ribbon cable on a model 2..mine has a bent pin.. I figure it's a 24 pin 1mm pitch, is that correct?

Any luck finding the correct cable? I ordered 1.0mm 24pin cable but the pins are not as thick and cable not as wide as the original. Took a picture with ruler of the original and 1.0mm cable on top. Based on the formula I found on Digi-Key this looks to be a ~1.25-1.3 pitch cable.
Cable Width / (# of conductors + 1) = Pitch.
~31.25 mm/ (24+1) = 1.25 mm

I found one off ebay.. it took awhile..it's not on sale often.. but this is good info for reference, their not much info about controller ribbon for replacement online
 
Found a plug and play solution on eBay overseas as well. Took a few weeks to get here but works perfectly. Confirmed it is definitely 1.25mm pitch. At 150mm long probably double length it needed to be but simply doubled over and fits nicely under drive.
