How much for a replacement PSU

[toneknob]

I've been trying to track down a replacement PSU for a Mark Bass pedal - mine's got a euro-style plug, being slightly OCD about such things I wanted a UK plug rather than a departure lounge adaptor. (It's one of those PSUs where the actual plus slots in and out so you can easily replace it depending on where you are)

Cost of adaptor plus UK plug: £53.75 + VAT

Cost of just the UK plug: £49.25 + VAT



I'm off to Maplins to see what I can get. Failing that, a handy departure lounge will do.

There's loads of [url="http://www.powerconnections.co.uk/convert_eurotouk.htm"]THESE[/url] things on the net, is that the sort of thing you're looking for? I got one off of ebay a couple of years ago and its been fine.

Yep, that's what I've got my eye on first. I need to double-check the shape of the euro-plug first though to make sure it'll fit.

Maplin have this: [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/euro-convertor-black-394235"]http://www.maplin.co...or-black-394235[/url]
and eBay has this one: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EURO-2-PIN-PLUG-TO-UK-MAINS-POWER-3-PIN-FUSED-PLUG-ADAPTOR-CONVERTER-3A-BLACK-/360396416623"]http://www.ebay.co.u...K-/360396416623[/url]

It needs to be in black of course...

You could just cut the old plug off and put a UK 13A plug on instead.

Now you tell me.

(good idea, but doesn't quite tick my obsessive boxes. plus, EU resale value maintained this way).
