Where to find 8-pin DIN 41524 plugs (for C64 video output)

[John]

Anyone know someone who can supply these?

Local electronics suppliers Jaycar and DS only have 41526 DINs.

You don't need 8 pin DIN, just use a 5 pin instead. In any case, I'm pretty
certain I bought some 8 pin DIN plugs from Jaycar just recently...

   There are two types of 8 pin din plugs.  The wrong one will
break the video output connector on the C64 & 128 computer.

Should you have the wrong plug, just clip the 2 NC (no connection)
pins. At least that's what Raymond Carlsen suggests.

That's what I did, or use a 5 pin plug - no probs.

Agreed. Quote from http://sta.c64.org/legend.html#din8plug :

Not if you want to get s-video.
And there are two types of 8 Pin din plugs, 41524 and 41526. The C64 takes
41524 (240 degree).

No, wait, I'm wrong. the extra pins aren't needed.

No, wait again, I'm right and wrong.

I need the central pin to get s-video, so I need at least 6 pins, but I can
remove the extra pins on the 'wrong' 8 pin dins.

Arrrg. I wanted these for a megadrive RGB cable as well, which does use the
extra pins.

So no-one makes them anymore?

Jeez, that brings back memories! Last time I needed to connect to a C64,
I soldered a cable direct to the PCB.

It is for this very reason that my 128 tower has RCA jacks on the back for
S-Video and audio, just so I can use normal A/V cables for a change (I seem
to have a habit of losing monitor cables).

I've had enough of this hassle of trying to find some weird connector.

Hrm. I couldn't possibly comment...

Ditto. A soldering iron fixes any of those kinds of problems.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately I'm leery about paying $13.00 postage for
a $2 part.

$13 postage can't be right, I paid less then that for shipping 25 EPROMS
from the US to AU.

That is how ebay works, Purchase price is their profit and "Postage"
covers all their cost.

RS list 8 pin DIN connectors.

Only a few $ for 5, might be worth a phone call or visit to see if they have
what you want. I've bought some oddball bits and pieces from them before.

That's the problem. There are two kinds of 8 pin DIN connectors. DS has the
wrong sort.
