Mains plug restoration
I often get equipment in for repair with the mains plug exhibiting incorrect fusing, occasionally incorrect wiring and often grubby.
If any parts are broken I will replace with a new plug, otherwise
I put the metal parts in vinegar, the plastic parts in dilute bleach.
The fuse is usually discarded and a new 1A to 3A fuse fitted.
The old plugs have a bit more character than some of the more modern ones.
Before and after pics attached.
Do others go to this extent or do you just put a new plug on?
