Mark,
Check your local electronics parts distributor.
Otherwise, Digykey would have them.

Thanks Tony.... That is my local distributor. If they have them they are under a desk in a box with dust on them.. Nothing in the Catalog even close except a generic IDC Connector for ribbon cable.

How about Mouser? I did a quick search on there and saw a few that looked like they would either work or could be modified to work.
Also - if you send them a photo of the cable end, they will search for you and tell you what part number to buy.

Not sure if this is exactly what you need, but here is where you need to look anyway: digikey has all types of sizes of ths free-hanging rectangular connector.

Matt you are correct.... Just wish I did not have to order 84 of them as a min quantity.

Here you go- buy one of them for $3.84 : http://www.digikey.com/product-detai...146-ND/5051783
and it's pair, in case you want to replace both ends: http://www.digikey.com/product-detai...118-ND/5011309
a note on these- cut the cable cleanly so you start with a fresh end when you pierce the connector onto the cable. And when you squeeze the connector closed use a vise, or something else that will squeeze it nice and square.

I would defiantly remake that with standard 2x10 pin connectors.
