There's got to be thousands of Molex type connector plugs depending on
style, pins(male or female), number of positions, contact plating. It
would be pure guesswork on what to stock. On the lamps, if it was the
70's or 80's, they probably would have had them in stock. Those lamps
were quite common back then.
