Kikusui PSU mains cable stowage mod
A rather modest 'success' but one I'm sharing in case it appeals to others.
I have two Kikusui PAB PSUs I acquired from an ex-BBC engineer. He shared my dislike of captive trailing mains cables, or perhaps I acquired that from him too...
With test gear in particular, I also don't see the use of yards of trailing cable when I'm working on the bench.
Given that these units have insufficient space to add a Cannon or IEC socket, he devised a very neat way of stowing the cables, atop the unit, by the addition of two cable tidy 'brackets' plus opening the square holes in the lids.
I've just acquired a further s/h unit - which in any event had a damaged mains cable, and made the same mod myself.
It makes for neat stowage.
Best explained in pictures.
