Default Revox C9 connector

I have a few Revox A77 and B&O recorders but only two C9 type mains connectors. It was annoying to have to keep changing the mains leads over depending on which recorder I was using.
Whilst mowing the lawn { Boring! }. I noticed that the Flymo connector had similar spacing between the pins. So I checked it with Revox C9 lead.
The spacing was close so I managed to pick up a couple of Flymo leads at the local boot fair ,£1 and 50P..
I cut the plug as pic and tried it out on my Revox and it worked a treat...
I am aware that new C9 type connecorts are available but to buy enough for my recorders would expensive.
Only problem I have found is that Flymo now use direct wired leads on there mowers..so the plugs might only be found in boot sales .

Neat!

Anyone got any good ideas for a Pressac job for a Hacker Centurion? Three push on Lucars is a bit bodgy even by my standards
