Some thorough checking of the Molex connector book revealed the following
part numbers:
	22-01-2041 (This is the connector body)
	08-50-0114 (These are the pins.  You need four, order five in
		case.)

These are not the exact replacements for the HP part, but they are very
close.  The pins on my 48 aren't bent at all with this connector.

That's the big problem.  You haven't a snowball's chance in Texas of finding
these at Radio Shack.  I pulled some strings at a large parts distributor
to get ONE sampled to me.  Your mileage may vary.

Good luck.
