Default Re: My first foray into Old model TV repairs.

The answer to your mains connector problem as suggested by Petertheorgan earlier in this thread is an excellent one. A single socket taken from an old 2amp 2pin wall socket replaces one of the 5amp ones in the standard flex connector and makes a perfect fit for the smaller diameter one used in the original 991T connector.

Failing this a piece of 30amp choc block makes a good and solid replacement but looks naff.

The original Bakelite socket is also shown for the extensive Ferguson series. The later versions are light brown in colour and moulded onto the mains lead.

A Bulgin version was also manufactured for EKCO but these are very rare. John.
