AV port replacement?

[an1]

I have a flaky AV port that I suspect will die sooner or later. I'd like to replace it, but I'm having trouble finding the part. Seems like Mini DIN 10 is rather esoteric.

This almost seems like the right thing:

The ground plane pins are slightly different, metal case, but I think it should work. The sockets for the pins seem like they're in the right spot, but the plastic mold has a different shape, missing some indents etc. Probably won't fit Saturn plugs like these:

Hmm. Can you buy replacement parts anywhere? If not, what would you recommend as a fix? Try to salvage parts from a broken PCB from eBay? Solder the cable to the PCB? It looks like I could just solder in a Mini DIN 9, but then I'd have to also make a custom cable.

Thanks!

That female plug won't work, the pinout/ident is upside down, and the ground pins are at different locations. It won't fit on the motherboard nor will it accept any Saturn a/v cables.

frankly, the type of plug the Saturn uses is so extremely uncommon, that I wouldn't bother finding a replacement port. I'd just solder on a short SCART dongle.

Or get a dead motherboard and harvest the a/v port from that.

Thanks!

I've always been thinking it would've been easiest if game consoles just had SCART sockets on the back :-)

Don't really see any good deals for broken Saturns / boards, so an original replacement is not an option.

Guess you're not a fan of the Mini DIN 9 + custom cable?

For soldering a SCART cable directly, would you recommend to just buy an extender or either a male-to-male cable and then just cut it off? Any suggestion on how to make a strain relief?

edit:

Thinking about it some more, the Saturn needs a cap and a resistor on the sync line since I'd like to keep using csync, so not sure if I can just use any SCART cable as those components would need to be installed in the SCART head. Also directly soldering to the board means I can't remove the motherboard anymore from the case. Hmmm.
