Sound city Ohm/voltage selector plug

[Bucket Head]

hi guys, looking for a sound city guru.

i bought a sound city amplifier today from a carboot and it has some kind of shorting plug at the back for voltage selection and ohms selection.

the problem is that the plug for the ohm selector is missing and im wondering if there is somewhere i can get a new/repo one or if its possible to make one

the plug is the same as this one.....

That current price (£14.50) is quite good if you want to join the bidding. Over on the Plexi Palace forum there was a guy a couple of years ago had some repos made - but I think they cost more than that.
I've seen it done with a piece of bent wire to replace it, obviously a dangerous thing to do - to either yourself or the amp.
You could try looking through the recommended amp tech thread & if there's one near you get in touch with him to see what he can do - or maybe has a spare plug.
