Hi Grant,
Newark seems to have a lot of these DIN style connectors on our side of the Pond.
For example, here's the one for plugging into the speaker socket:
DIN Loudspeaker Plug at Newark
These are much more common in the UK, and often even Newark's stock is kept there.
The line in and line out connectors are DIN too, you just need to get the correct number of pins. Something else to watch for is (if I remember right) these connectors are recessed in the side of the machine and if the case of the connector isn't shaped right (a right angle housing for example) it won't plug in.
Another good place to check is Maplins:

You have to juggle the total price including shipping to see which one is the better value.
If you are going to connect an external speaker to a Eumig 800 series, it really should be 4 Ohms for best performance. An 8 ohm speaker will work, but will give you only half the volume, which forces you to turn the volume up, which can introduce more distortion. 4 Ohm speakers are much more common in car audio.
Two 8 ohm speakers will work like one 4 ohm if you connect them in parallel like this: connect the red terminals together and connect them to the hot wire from the projector. Then (seperately!)connect the black terminals together and connect them the the ground wire from the projector. IMPORTANT: If red and black are connected to each other you have a short circuit....BOOOM!!!
Any 600 foot reel will do for a takeup, but I prefer Geeps because they are well made and come with a case.

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...
