5 pin DIN to 3.5mm stereo jack leads can be bought for a pound or two on eBay, but 3 pin DIN leads are much rarer (they are only used with mono gear). You may need to buy the plugs and make up the cable yourself.

You can actually bodge the DIN connection as a one off, using cocktail sticks or bent paperclips to hold the bare wires in the socket holes.
