icastle Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 That's easy because I am an incredibly sad person. It's a 60320-C10. The hard bit is going to be finding one. I'd be more inclined to pull it out and replace it with the 'standard' IEC socket that we all know and love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zenitram Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Ooh I have a related question. I own a synthesiser that uses a 2P-AC1 connector. Google it if you want; it's not very exciting. The issue isn't that as such, though it is a bit of a pain. The issue is that the synth was bought in the States, so it has US voltage. To use it here in the UK, I need to plug said 2P-AC1 lead into a step-down (or is it a step-up) voltage converter, which is big and heavy and hot and clunky. And currently being used by some powered monitors. My question: would it be possible, if I took this synth to someone who's handy with electronics and electrics and stuff, to just swap out that voltage power supply bit and replace it all with a standard kettle lead style connection, ready for UK voltage? Is it a relatively simple thing for someone (not me) to do? Thanks for your knowledge. (The synth is a Roland Alpha Juno 2, if that's at all relevant) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll need a new transformer, a replacement socket and a power board - part number 76160114 (I looked that number up by the way, I'm not THAT sad ) The hardest part will be cutting the casing back to fit the new IEC socket - they're not a direct swap for the 2P-AC1.

Zenitram Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hmmm, that doesn't sound very simple, or easy to make happen. Thanks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zenitram Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 As long as I could source a 76160114 power board for them, presumably? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
