Those 8-pin sockets will accept the 7-pin plugs all right -- I once had a
repair where someone plugged their power supply into the video connector,

Can someone recommend a source for the 7-pin
PCB-mount DIN jacks used for
the power jack on a Commodore 64?
Could you just use an 8-pin jack (like digi-key A32316-ND) and ignore
the middle pin (cut it on the PCB side)? Joe
(If you're really in a bind and the above won't work, I can unsolder
one I have on a broken C64. Contact me off-list if needed.)
I responded to the initial post offlist, as I've already done so -- had a LOT
of scrap 64s and all sorts of connectors from them, already unsoldered if
anybody needs some. Feel free to contact me offlist...
