The RS part number is (or was)  274-026.

I went to several local Radio Shack stores this past spring, and I was 
told that the part has been discontinued and no longer available. 
However I did find one outlet that had five of them as new old stock and 
marked at $0.99 each. So I went to the counter to purchase all five. 
Since the parts did not show up in store inventory the young sales 
clerks couldn't sell them to me. Instead, the five 8 pin DIN plugs were 
simply given to me. No charge. Gratis. I left them a five dollar bill 
for their coffee and pizza fund. Sorry, I don't think I can get any more.
