TZD's TurboPad Repair Cables

Quick question:
does anyone know if TZD sells replacement pad cables for both "new" and "old" style TurboPads?

I have about nine controllers, and some of them are less responsive than others, which causes me to take them apart and clean the PCB's with alcohol. The first time I did this I noticed that most of my TurboPads had a brown board with black contacts, but some of them had a green board with gold contacts, and the technology just looks older.
Another key difference is the cord connector harness. The picture on TZD shows the new style, which will not fit the older boards.

They only have the new style cables.

I didn't know anyone actually had any of the old style pads anymore. I have one of those old style pads and the color scheme on the face is yellow and green instead of the normal orange and yellow. Kind of strange.
