Default European connectors wanted (DIN)

Is that a three pin or two pin connector used for the speaker? I have a

These connectors came in two versions, if you
put the 2way cable in normally, internal and external
speaker played together, plug it in the other way,
and the internal speaker would switch off.
The cable part was always 2 pins, a fat one and a thin one.


DIN connectors have always struck me as terribly clever: they leave the tech
parts to the people that made them. Like this simple speaker plug: no way
to confuse speaker polarity, it's obvious how the plug goes in.

They make connecting a tape recorder dead easy too: one connector rather
than four. What could be simpler?

Traurig, nicht var?
