ReVox mains power plug source - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hi folks!

I discovered yesterday that the unusual mains connector for the ReVox CD/Tape/Amplifier devices is the same as the one used for an ELNA sewing machine I spotted at home. I 'borrowed' the cable to make sure it fitted exactly, but I have had to give it back now....:-(

It's known as an IEC C9 connector.

Which model number is the machine?
I've looked at their spares and they show IEC 3 pin, Figure 8, Figure 8 with 1 round and 1 square end and many fancy plugs for foot controls, but I can't see a C9 connector anywhere.

It's an ELNA SU air electronic. I can't see a model number.

Someone suggested (vidjoman) in a previous discussion on these:

They still seem to list them, no price quoted though......

Ebay has quite a few US plug ELNA leads of the right looking sort listed. Price varies from about $15 upwards, postage who knows?

Don't forget to add the 20% import VAT and the Royal Mail's handling charge of £8 on imports from non-EC countries, as my daughter just discovered to her cost on her latest ebay purchase from the USA, an additional £12.82 on a US$40 purchase.
