Looking at it, I got everything I need to make one so I can't justify buying one.
Therefore I begun...
I started by cutting all wires to the same length. I used a ruler and marker to make sure they are all the same length. It didn't need to be long and I don't have that much wire, so I made it short.
I used a clip to hold the wire in place so I could hold the solder in one hand the gun in the other. Later I didn't use the clip. I simply put solder in the board first then place the wire on it then heat it again.
I did the first and last wires first to make sure it won't end up uneven in case some wires are longer than others. It took me a while because I was cutting one wire at a time then solder it and repeat. Then I decided to cut them all, twist them and solder them all, which was a lot faster.
So here is the end product
I kept it simple. I didn't put the heat sleeves and there are a couple of wires that aren't really necessary, but I put it anyways. It doesn't hurt.
I rechecked the position of the wires to make sure they are in the right place and not switching place with any onther.
Here it is connect to the supergun
I couldn't push it all the way, but it doesn't matter.
Testing and...Wualah!
It works perfectly. The lines on the image are because it was taken from the CRT.
So that was my quick (although no so quick) and easy project today. It won't win a beauty contest, but it works and it saved me 14 bucks. And the best part is that I got my hands dirty, something that I made myself. Comments?
