As I've found it, I might as well post it....
Here you are :
1 Switch 0 (Push to make, connected between here and ground)
2 Switch 1
3 Swtich 2
4 Switch 3
5 Pot 0 (X direction, -5V to +5V analogue input)
6 Pot 1 (Y direction, -5V to +5V analogue input)
7 +5V
8 Ground
9 -5V
The vectrex connector is a 9 pin D, but it's down a rather deep hole. A
normal socket won't fit, alas. I've found the best thing to do is to buy
the extension lead for a Sega control pad, cut the _plug_ off the cable,
and use the socket (which fits after a bit of cutting) and cable to
connect to the Vectrex. Make sure you buy a cable that connects to all 9
pins - all the ones I've found do.
