toneknob Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyonbass Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toneknob Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 (edited) 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...

bertbass Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 You could just cut the old plug off and put a UK 13A plug on instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
