A pet peeve of mine - I'm just getting into off-cameras flash, and I
can't believe how expensive simple3 and 5 conductor cables are! I
build my own audio cables (I ran a radio station for several
years),and am handy with a solder gun, but am similarly discouraged
at the lack of generic TTL cords or ends.

Anyone have any old defunct cables they'd sell for the ends? Cable I
have.
