I looked in the parts list but they don't list these connectors sadly !
.. so short of getting some from work, if you could if just find some old databook or something to identify them, that would be a big help, I could try and Google for them and maybe with some luck find some for sale. I guess I could salvage a male/female pair from the donour counter, but I would rather try to keep it complete as much/ as long as possible, in case I get the silly idea one day of restoring it.

Those Hypertac connectors are VERY expensive. Very unlikey to find a cheap set. They should have part numbers on the connector body though.
Alas no part number on them, only " FRB " stamped on them.. which does not tell me anything I didn't already know...
The health of the donour is declining fast, it worsened considerably since last night. It's now all over the shop and hopeless. It's time to call his parents and ask them if their religion if any, prevents me from using his organs to help other Ferisol counters in need. They can't all be winners....it's the great circle of life, counters die so that new counters can be born...
So, if anyone can figure out the P/N for these connectors, in some old catalogue, please share. You will be rewarded with my immense gratitude, though I understand that it's not a valid currency to pay your rent and fill your tank at the gas station
I've only seen part number printed on the more modern ones, the ancient Smiths version & older Hypertac had nothing on them that I remember. There was a time where we changed hundreds of the 35 way version during an overhaul.
I've got a board with several Smiths 16 way plugs, ex CNC machine tool readout according to the seller I got it from, give me time & I'll see if I have anything to fit them, you never know I might be able to help.
If you could measure the FRB connector I can check they are the same size too.

Yeah that would be great, keep me updated !
Your pics show a two row connector but otherwise looks very similar to what I need !
right angle, round pins, PCB mount, one bolt at each end, same shape same colour... must be it.
I have just buttoned up the donour and took some macro shots of the connectors then took a few measurements with the calipers so I can post a thread about that on the forum, somewhere.
I measured, on the male/plugin board connector :
- Single row, 16 pins.
- Round pins, diameter 1.5mm
- Length of the pins (max length, including the conical/rounded tip ) : about 6.5mm.
- Pitch : about 4mm. Should be quite accurate : measured the overall length of all 16 pins, 61.3mm, remove one diameter, about 60mm, divided by 15 intervals... 4mm.
