That ain't no joke, I'm working with collins proline right now for a project 
(real flying machine) into the racks and connectors for almost as much as 
the avionics. As for those ARINC 600 connectors some of them are 500-1000 
per section 2000 on up for a complete connector. The older ARINC 404/DPX* 
connectors are a bit more plentiful in surplus if you already have the racks 
your halfway there just need to mate them up. I have a number of ARINC 404 
and bayonet connectors around the shop need to put an inventory together of 
whats surplus and do some trading one of these days.
