Other sources for the parts to build a parallel printer cable for "Model T" computers.

DigiKey

Must peel 4 wires off the 30P cable to make a 26P cable.
If you peel off the colored wire, you can make a cable that is all black. But if so, be careful to manually keep track that db25 pin 1 connects to centronics pin 1, because you won't have the colored wire to reference.
The centronics connector does not include a normal fold-over strain relief, but the crimping part does include a type of strain relief based on plastic pins piercing the insulation between the wires.
