The cables are a bit tricky to make, the solder cups on the 37 pin connector are really close together. I ended up making my own because I knew it would be done right that way, but it's a pain in the ass. If I were to make someone a cable I would also probably charge around $70 because it sucks that bad to make them. You have to be really careful with the soldering iron and use lots of heat shrink for safety. If you mess up and pool up too much solder on the connection the molten blob can fall through and stick to all sorts of stuff on it's way down. Been there, had to deal with that. Be sure that when you put on the metal connector shield hood thingy that you clamp down on it real good so if anything ever yanks on the cable the stress is on the connector housing so it doesn't rip the solder joints apart or pull the pins out of the connector.
