[Amps] RE : DIN stands for....?

[hermans]

 And finally with this BIG DIN-BURGER-STORY, I still wasn't able to find
a 8 pin DIN that fits in my FT1000mp to pick-up the band change Data.
Be aware, the 7 pins are NOT in a circle, and the eight pin is NOT in
the center.
Who can solve this real problem ?
Thanks for a shout.

There is an extraction tool for Molex pins. I have one here somewhere.
It is 
nothing more than a hollow cylinder which fits tightly over the pin and 
compresses the little flanges (or whatever they are called) that retain
the 
pin. Works great.
