Saving old systems - anyone with a dead Dell laptop?

Speaking of laptops (and starting an new topic), I've found
I can easily mod my Latitude C600 to accept a miniPCI
wireless care (specifically a Netgate 5004 a/b/g card). All
I need is the connector cable to the built-in antenna, Dell
Part #37THY.  I've had no luck getting it from Dell (lots
of "what's that, I don't show that"), but by doing some
googling, found out it appears to be the standard connector
for their laptops.  Any ideas where to get one, or does
anyone have a dead Dell laptop I can extract it from? 
Maybe help turn a dead laptop into parts for several
laptops if a number of us need parts.

thanks in advance,
jeff
