Rare/unusual mains connectors
I recently suggested that one way of obtaining these connectors was to buy something tatty, but that came complete with a mains lead. Well, recently received these, each accompanied by a poor example of a radio-cassette.
The flat one is the Sanyo plug that fits the attaché case music centres, the other is a Sony. Perhaps it would be an idea for a sticky, listing all the odd and rare connectors that we need. Then, when we are finally able to visit rallies etc we know what to look for. Peter |

Re: Rare/unusual mains connectors
There is probably a lot of info already out there, this archived webpage shows a few types used on some vintage calculators & test equipment;

Re: Rare/unusual mains connectors
That's another good one, it has a whole page on the Belling Lee & Bulgin connectors with some sizes given.

Re: Rare/unusual mains connectors
There was an EP-LNE connector too, like a bigger version of the XLR type.
