AC output on rear of amplifier - strange configuration (not strictly DIY)
I know that this isn't strictly DIY but the regulars here seem to know
so much about unusual plugs and sockets.... and I'll try to get it back on topic at the end :-) The rear of my Yamaha amp has a switched AC outlet that I'd like to use to power my CD player - the CD player transformer has a low hum when the unit is on standby and the rear on/off switch is a bit awkward to reach on a regular basis so the switched AC outlet from the amp seems ideal. The only problem is that I can't seem to find a plug that will fit it - I've looked on CPC etc. but I can't seem to identify the socket and the Yamaha manual is about as much help as a (insert really useless thing here). The socket looks something like this (ASCII representation, fixed pitch font will help) ______________________________________ | __________________ | | |__________________| | | _ _ | | | | | | | | |_| |_| | | | |______________________________________| i.e. a bit like this http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/endecaSea...sp?sku=CN01756 but without the small centre pin. Does anyone know what it's called / where I can find a plug? If I can't find one I'll just have to obtain a chassis socket of the same size with a matching plug, and replace one in the amp (back on topic for D.I.Y.?) Thanks Perry |
