It's called an EIAJ connector.

There are actually several connectors that have been known as EIAJ. All explained here: http://www.labguysworld.com/Connectors.htm

The 8 pin connector wanted by the OP was commonly used on open reel VTRs in the 1970s. I certainly used to have some of the connectors but finding them is another matter, even if I still have them.

I've got one of those, It came with my JVC BR-8000U VCR and there's an input for that on a Sony Trinitron BCM I have here too. It was used on pro video gear into the 80s.
