A thing I've done a few times when I've needed an odd Molex/AMP connector 
for one of my own machines was to find some pins of the right diameter, 
solder the wires/resistor/whatever to them, stick them in the appropriate 
holes of the socket, and insulat the bit that sticks out with heat-shrink 
sleeving. 

It's a kludge, sure. It;s easy to get the pins in the wrong holes, sure. 
If you can get the right housing, use it. But if you can't it'll get the 
machine going without any modifications to said machine so you can go 
back to the origianl state if you want to
