Thank you for the suggestion, some time ago I tried engaging with Fanuc UK ...
The Fanuc timeline I linked on a previous post says that the GE tie up was from '86 to
'09
For me the most remarkable thing is that both connector families seem to have survived in
production
Best Regards
Martin

I may be clutching at straws here, but Fanuc was a GE company, was it not? And I
know that GE had a relationship with Matsushita back in the 70s. Our local GE rep
(Toronto, Canada) offered Matsushita product where they didn't have a fit. Maybe try
looking there?

1980's Fanuc tape reader PECs are fitted with
two families of
connector I am unfamiliar with : one is used for power and the other
for signal connections -further detail and pictures in the following

No joy on Burndy website or at BitSavers - wisdom gratefully received

I believe the serial connector is a Honda part. Not sure if that is
the same Honda that makes cars, but a lot of Japanese gear uses these.
Industrial VCRs and video cameras, CNC, etc.
