Disklavier

Just to let you know, I don't have a Wagon Grand or access to one that I 
can look at.

I'm assuming that you have never had the cable(s)?

I would suggest that you do some Google research on the "SRCN" type of 
cable connector manufactured by Japan Aviation Electronics Industry, 
Ltd.  Look for 16-pin male connectors and see if you can match one with 
the female connectors to which you need to connect.  If you live in a 
major city, an electronic music repair shop or aviation electronics 
repair shop might be of help in obtaining them.

With those connectors in hand, I'd make up the cables.  I'd use a 
multiconductor cable with eight pair of 18 or 22 AWG stranded (not 
solid!) conductors.  Wire the connectors pin for pin.  We'll hope your 
DKV then comes alive.  If not, you may have discovered the reason that 
the gray source happened to lose the cables.

I'll be surprised if you can't find the matching connectors.  In 
desperation, there is no reason, other than a costly headache, that you 
could not remove the existing connectors and go to some other style of 
16-pin connector.

If you are not too handy with a soldering iron, have an electronic shop 
fabricate your cable(s).

Good luck!  There is more than one way to skin a cat.
