Hi There,
the correct connector for the mains lead has been unavailable for years but the option that I use is to take one of the brass sockets out of a 2 amp female socket and use it to replace one of the sockets in a 5 amp female connector ( you may have to fatten it out with a bit of heat shrink to make it sit firmly in the plastic socket , I have a couple in the junk box , pvt me your address and I will stick the brass bit in the post
