Hey, all:
I'm looking for two pair of the sort-of-Molex-like connectors DEC used for
connecting Teletypes to minis in the late '60s/early '70s. A DEC drawing
designates them as "Mate-n-Lock" connectors, T04915; my web search for
them turned up a lot of connectors, but not this type. Here's a photo of
a set, if it helps:

Are these still manufactured? Does anyone have two sets in spares, or
otherwise know where I can find a couple?
Thanks in advance for any help!

I have half of what you are looking for: about 2-dozen cables, each cable
being 4-conductor with a connector on one end. The connectors are those with
the big flat tab, shown on the left in your photo. The pins in use are the
same as in your photo (2,3,5 & 7, depending on which end you count from), so
presumably these were used for the same purpose.
It's just surplus cable to me, so if it's of any help without the other
connector, let me know. Location is Vancouver, Canada.

Dec used them for 20ma terminals. I have some of the cables with berg
connectors on one end to plug into M865, M8650, M7800, etc., and some with
the mate-n-lock on both ends. It might take a few days to dig them up.
