Hi,
another happy owner of Streamer Stage II here!
I bought this bass with some PU and electronic modification, so I want to restore this bass to original condition. I found active MEC PU, 3 way MEC electronic platine + pots. Unfortunately is missing 4-pin connector between electronic and volume/balance pot and 3-pin connector which is going to jack output. I have some friend with the right pliers, so to join the wires and pins could be question of couple minutes.
Here is a picture, what I have:

I´m looking for counterpart connectors with the pins. I know, I can to solder the wires directly, but I don´t like it.
I will be glad, if somebody can post the picture of cavity of Streamer Stage II with original MEC electronic placement . Thank You guys for the help.
 
We used to have that part on the webshop, but I cannot see it anymore.... I will look for it again :-)

Welcome to the forum !
 
Warwick e-shop offers output jack with 3pin connector only, Banzai music doesn´t answer.... who does know a direct e-mail to MEC, please? Do You can help me, Florin?
 
try an electronics shop, I'm pretty sure these are a standatd PC board attachment clip and you should be able to find clips and the tools to clip the wires in. I'm certain I've seen them at electronics/hobby shops here in australia.
 
After deep research I can say: The standard doesn´t exist. We have connectors with 2mm spacing, 2,54 mm spacing, front lock, rear lock, side lock (MEC) double lock, all in many different shapes.
After visiting couple electronics shops here (without success) I ordered some 4-pin connectors on Banzai music and eBay - just blind attempts. The 3 pin connector offers Warwick shop as jack output assembly - O.K, here is problem solved, 4-pin they haven´t.
 
Yikes, i thought there would be standard for these things. sorry if i led oyu on a wild goose chase.
 
So, after month of research I found the right parts in Banzai music shop. Now I have all to restore my Yin-Yang beauty:-)
