I'll bet digi-key sells them. They carry a pretty full line of AMP 
connectors and IIRC the ones in the VS3100 are either AMP or Bergs. 
anyone have a digiky catalog handy?

if you cant find one, then i know black box would be happy to make one 
for you for the low,low price of like $200.. (sarcasm on full throttle 
here :)  seriously , bb could be a last resort, as they are hideously 
expensive.. but they would sell such a thing.
