2 Pin Mains Plug Search (UK)
 

I have picked up a marantz pm310 off ebay, sold as untested since no mains
lead existed.

I wanted it for parts to repair my own 310 but when it arrived I plugged it
in where my old one was and blow me down it works perfectly.

That means all I need its the 2 pin mains lead to get the other one working
again. I hoped it was just a case of plugging the p/n in but I get nothing
back at all. The sockets got the BS kitemark number, plus what looks like
its own part number,

SOT-I7

but nothing comes up when I look for it. The one lead I have has

P-289 on it.

Both have their ratings of 6A 250V stamped. There's nothing obvious in
maplin or RS but if there an equivalent, I don't know it.

I have photos of it he

Looks a bit like a US small appliance connector.

why don't you just open up the unit, remove the 2 pin connector, and
take a 3 pin IEC socket from an old PC power supply, and screw that in
instead? I had to do this once with an old slide projector.
Only difference is you dont use the earth pin

Ben: yes thanks I had thought of a power type socket conversion, but its a
damn good quality unit and id have to dremmel it a bit to fit and its a bit
close to the board- finding a lead is my first (and easiest) option I want
to try.

NSM: Really? lol, that's surprising. I have no idea about anything like
that, I thought the pins were a bit bigger than those. Here's a picture of
the plug end with tape measures for perspective.

Seems to be 3/4 Inch by 1/2 Inch external with the pin apertures approx.
7/32" by 3/32" (or 5mm x 2.2mm). Is that anywhere close?

Thanks a lot for the help

I have waffle makers and similar things with a plug somewhat like that, but
the Yanks are always coming up with odd connectors. Fortunately they're
changing over to the 6 amp connector (DIN style) now.
