I got a molex connector that had the right pin pattern
but needed
some trimming of the plastic to fit. I got it at a local surplus shop
so don't have a number for it.
A thing I've done a few times when I've needed an odd Molex/AMP connector
for one of my own machines was to find some pins of the right diameter,
solder the wires/resistor/whatever to them, stick them in the appropriate
holes of the socket, and insulat the bit that sticks out with heat-shrink
sleeving.
It's a kludge, sure. It;s easy to get the pins in the wrong holes, sure.
If you can get the right housing, use it. But if you can't it'll get the
machine going without any modifications to said machine so you can go
back to the origianl state if you want to
