Thanks for the comment, John. The connector is solidly built and originally rated for mains, and its 1970s-ness was part of the reason I chose it. Its locking mechanism is ergonomically pleasing and secure. Certainly easier to use than an IEC! In this case it's passing less than an amp, so I don't think it's a weak link.

This is beyond my ability to deduce before the fact, so your analysis is very informative. As far as I can tell, the current fusing system protects the important parts - the wire from fire and the Uher stack from repair.
Radio Wrangler's point about a subsequent user had crossed my mind, but as it's unlikely to leave my hands for the next half-century I am not very worried. Besides, the case will have labelling detailing the fuse requirements, just like a Uher Z131 cassette power supply. Then if the value's wrong (as it was in the Z131 I have here) at least it's obvious.
