Male 262 degrees 8 pin DIN connectors (for C64 video cables etc) are readily available from for example AliExpress.

Couldn't find any female connectors (for the motherboard) though.

If I am not mistaken, it is the same connector as the one used by the Sega Megadrive 1, although with a different pinout. In principle, you should be able to get a Megadrive cable, cut it, and reorder the pins.
They seem readily available until you try to actually order them. Everywhere that sell electronic components has an entry for them still but has no actual stock.
