I got mine off eBay.  This looks right:

	http://www.ebay.com/itm/DIN-male-Plug-Cable-Connector-6-Pin-with-Plastic-Handle-/290571594757?pt=US_Audio_Cables_Adapters&hash=item43a76aac05

If you want different quantities, just search for "6 pin DIN".
Be sure to look at the pictures, and avoid any "mini-DIN" varieties.

No help there -- sorry!
