Hey everyone!

I am working on restoring an IBM XT/5160 that has a lot of sentimental value to me. In addition to getting it working I am also trying to match some cosmetic aspects of how the machine was setup when I received it. As such, I am looking for some specific cables for the floppy drives/fixed disks.

I am looking for blue ones that look like these:

If anyone has any they are willing to let go or knows where I can source them I would be very appreciative. I have some of the gray ones if someone was interested in a trade, for whatever reason.

Thank you!
 
I've had a few XT's over the years and all them had darker grey cables with a blue stripe...
 
I am sure most of them did have the gray ones. My grandfather worked there and so I’m sure some of the parts he ended up with were not standard issue for a production machine.
