Default What is this mains connector for?

Hey,

I got a bunch of stuff at a bankruptcy sale a few weeks ago. One of the
items was a HP audio oscillator with an unknown (to me) type of mains
socket. Heres a picture of one of the same type:

I don't recognise this. Can someone tell me what country it was intended
for use in and what the likely required supply voltage would be? I'm
guessing it's probably 110 or 240 but need to know for sure.
Thanks.


Is the HP model number some secret or not?

That connector is commonly called an IEC connector. It can be either 120 or
240 volts.

If you let us know the model of the HP equipment, someone can most likely
direct you to a PDF copy of the service manual with all the answers.
