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 http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adspace/pics/mplug1.jpg http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adspace/pics/mplug2.jpg Thanks for any help Ad |

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 regards, Ben |

Only difference is you dont use the earth pin regards, Ben 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. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adspace/pics/mdims.jpg 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 Regards Ad |

Is that anywhere close? 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. |
