Hi Jared. You're absolutely right. The connector is 8 pin on most of those, and the D-Command uses a 6 pin. Everything else looks identical. I did some researching and I think the connector is called a micro JST 6. If I got the wrong size, I'll exchange the following purchases I made:
I picked up a few of these
And I picked up a few of these
I'll try to either change out just the tip or change out the wiring from the fader itself.
I got a "broken" D-Command for free. It has 7 faders in it, one without a cap. It is given "as is", and I figured I'd take a stab at fixing it, where needed. If I end up destroying it, no harm no foul. WHEN I fix it, AWESOME!
The funny thing is one of the faders in the bunch has the correct tip!
