[ukvac] OT: Mains Lead/Plug Question

Hiya

I have just picked up a non-VAC piece of kit which has a non-standard
mains socket on the rear and I'm not sure where to try for suppliers of
a suitable input lead.
I certainly don't have anything lying around which fits.

The device is rated at 220VAC and the mains socket is rectangular with
two vertically-oriented pins side-by-side.

It's larger than the "figure-of-8" types found on old cassette decks and
hi-fi kit.

Any ideas?


Cheers

Alan )

Hmm, would that be a Revox B77 by any chance?
Those plugs are near impossible to find.

Nope...it would be a Roland GR-700! )

I think it's non-UK spec, 'cos all of my other GR-700's have standard
Euro Sockets...

Someone just told me that a mains lead from an old Akai S9000 sampler
may fit (not posessing one at the mo, I can't confirm this!)

Why not just open it up and replace it with a standard socket?

Assuming of course that you are comfortable with doing so.

Of course I am! P

That'll be a last resort...it's just that if I can find a lead, I'd
sooner keep the thing as Mr. Roland intended it...

Oh THOSE bloody things. Chances of finding one are very slim, you
might be better to convert it to an IEC kettle socket after all...
Wish I stil had my GR500, crap but ever so cool!
