you can find 8-pin DIN male connectors on ebay for a dollar shipped from china.  i have used them in the past and they are fine.

here's another solution that i think is more practical.  find a 6-9 cable with a male 8-DIN connector on ebay, cut off one end and solder it to the PCB on the controller.  its easier to do than soldering to the connector alone and you have a much longer cable than the stock 3 footer.

Well, since I have two controllers in the same state, I will likely give this a try in the next few weeks.

Hello,

I recently rescued a TG16 and a couple of controllers from a guy who was moving away.  The console itself works perfectly.  However, the two controllers are missing the 8 pin DIN metal barrels that would be used to connect to the console.  I did a search on here to see if I could find anything repair related but could not.

I believe that all I would need is an 8-pin male DIN coupler and I could be in buisness.  Can anyone confirm this, or provide some advice?

thank you!
