I recently acquired a Tak 130NFB with A Temma 2 mount but, unfortunately, without the pc cable. Does anyone have a spare or have the schematics that would allow me to have it built locally?

Is this what you want? I have used this on my EM200 Temma II mount.

I already showed you the pinouts.  You will still need a USB to Serial converter to use it on a computer with only USB ports.

I had to buy one at great cost.  What type of connector goes into the mount jack?  I can’t seem to find out what it is called.

Thanks everyone. I was able to find a $12 4-pin DIN to USB cable that seems to work on AliExpress. -- still testing.
