"D'Oh!", to quote one of the more obnoxious cartoon characters on TV.

I should have thought of that. A quick look through the Allied catalog
does not show anything like that pin arrangement, though, which makes 
me think it's not an "MS' connector. I'll look through Mouser and 
Digikey now. 

It's not hard to get to the back of this one: it's on-end on the floor
in front of the bedroom dresser right now, where $WIFE can stub her
toe on it as she walks to the john, and right next to the Philips
PM3055 scope that I really ought to take back out to the shack now
that I have the Tek 465B in the bedroom[1]. I'll have a look; if it's
small, I've got a couple of B&L flip-out magnifiers. If it's smaller,
the stereo microscope will work, though I'll have to dismount the
head from the support, and if it's _tiny_, there's the AO Series-11
research trinocular out in the family room.

[1]	The stack is, from bottom to top: R-1051B, HP 652A, cheap stereo,
	and Tek scope. The Yaesu FRG-100 is in the cabinet to the right, 
	with the TV, DVD, cable TV box, and VCR.
