Where can I get this 8 pin socket + connector

[kka]

I'm working on a Mesa 2:100 power amp. Customer fried the PT to PCB 8 pin connector (single row, 30mm wide). Well, half was fried, so he cut half the connector off and soldered 4 wires directly onto the 8 pin socket. After he used the amp like that for a few min. the main fuse blew.
I did a prelim. teste of the PT (Ohmmeter) and it checked ok. I need to replace this 8 pin connector (female) plus the socket (male) which is soldered into PCB. I looked online and could not locate the exact one I need. Does anyone know where to get it?

Here is a photo of the 8 pin socket and the customer's solder job. He melted half the socket in the process.

Thank you.

Have you tried Mesa Parts Dept? I probably would just remove the connector completely and hardwire the wire dress directly to the board if possible.

I agree, just eliminate the connector and hardwire it. If it blew a fuse after a minute, it wasn;t because it was wired. Might be because it is wired incorrectly though. Or it might also be that the connector burnt up because of a problem in the circuit. That problem may still exist.
