Fortunately you can still walk into Radio Shack (how does Radio Shack still survive in its brick and mortar form?) and buy some 4-wire telecom wire and D25 male soldered connectors.

For those of you who grew up with networked, USB, and now wireless printers, back in the day we hooked printers up to our computers with 25-pin parallel cables. Our motherboards came with (usually) one parallel port, so if you wanted to hook up more than one printer to your computer, you bought a switch box. Inside the stained wooden box is the repurposed

I had decided I wasn't up to the task of fixing the BM4000, even it were just the caps on the amplifier board. So I sent it on up to Benny Amina at Modular Electronics outside of Atlanta.
