EK> Alan, if memory serves, that was a six hole "Molex" connector and Heath only
used 2 of the holes (makes one wonder what they may have had planed)  Mouser
handles Molex as does a few other places.  To avoid buying an unnecessary
connector, you might just get the pins, solder them on the wires, use some red and
black shrinkwrap and just hook them up straight away.  The pins make a good fit
and won't "normally" slide apart.
