I have a odd connector, either a blunder or the real thing. Strange looking DIN

separation wider than a standard DIN.

That looks like the 8 pin DIN plug Commodore used on the late
production C64 computers, after the video was redesigned to have
separate chroma and luminance outputs, (S-Video) and for the 40 column
display on the C128 computer. They used the round 7 pin din for the C64
power supply, so they didn't want you to plug it into the video port.
Some other companies still use the seven pin DIN plug for external power
supplies, so that may be the reason the vendor chose this version.
