Doug, I have the plugs and the crimping tool and do this all the time, PM me if you can't find anybody local and we'll see what we can do. I'm just a bit too far away to pop round and do it.

Re: fitting futaba/JR plugs to cables?
Whilst it might not be as elegant as properly crimping on new pins (and you HAVE to have the right tools to do that reliably) I always just chop off a commercially bought servo lead a couple of inches from the plug and solder that to the bare lead. I've just fitted out a top model Swift like that and covered all the separate servo leads in protective mesh after heat shrinking each lead individually so no one can see I've done a cut and shut anyway!
However, I can understand if you want to do it "properly" and I'm sure there is a satisfaction to that too.
