Molex - Where for art thou?

At the risk of making it non-standard, you could buy a pair of matching 9-pin plug/socket, and re-pin the wires. If the pins are the same size, you would only need to remove the pins from the original plug & push them into the new one. That's what I did on a cab that had a kick-harness that didn't match what the board needed - I got a JAMMA extender, soldered wires to the fingerboard, snipped the old harness off & made a connector using a pair, then wired the old socket back into another compatible plug so it could be returned if the cab ever met up with a board with that kick harness.

Thanks mate did consider this but the background is that I'm making a splitter so I can drive both the transformer and a secondary 12v transformer, so ideally want to keep to work down on other games too. Will go this route if the turn out to be unobtainium.
 
You can find the Molex part number by checking out the 3D models filtering max 9-way circuits, 3-rows listed below, don't be put off by the thumbnails that all show locking "ears", check out the descriptions ie "no ears", "no latch".

Better pictures "into" the open connector would help.
