Well, the connector on the back looks like something Molex might make,
but I haven't been able to confirm that, or determine what the part
number would be.

I spent some time at Molex's web site, and some time at Mouser's, and
while I've found similar connector shells, nothing matches. I'm
beginning to wonder if the connector was custom-made for ICOM.

Anybody know where I can find the connector I need?

Hi, Pete . . .

Tower Electronics has that ICOM IC-718 Power Cable you're looking for. Their website is http://www.pl-259.com/

You can buy the whole cable or just the 6-pin Molex Connector! If you're going to Dayton, Tower has spaces outside AND inside.
