Anyone know a good source of high-quality re-wireable US type mains plugs?
I've got a spare KK Mercury that I can't use with the Victor CDP because the 100V transformer takes a US/Japanese style mains plug. If I could find a decent plug I could re-terminate it.

It works, if the cable is too thin to stay in wrap some foil paper around wire and push in with a bit of a match stickmosfet wrote:

Why not go the whole hog and push with a (non-electricians) screwdriver.
Didn't you realise that plugs don't make a difference.

No the socket as that is the only important thing as it is the end of the mains supply before you get to wanky wires with dodgy plugs.
