Replacing a Power cord
#7

i have a cord from another item from the past.

the easy place to find the plug i speak of is on christmas lights.

i am sure i would be able to find the plug cord from another item but i am betting i wont like the price.

so... i am doing a quick study on the christmas light plug.
so far i am not impressed because the christmas light plugs are not polarized,,, but the christmas light plug has TWO fuses!

this option is going to be very very very inexpensive to integrate into radios.


this is like the one i harvested from something else,, i think it was from an old box fan??

these are very nice, not so expensive but the darn thing has no onboard fuse....

i cant tell if this darn thing has the fuse or not

then there is this what the industry calls "VAMPIRE ZIP CORD PLUGS " which has a fuse provision and its 90deg style so to speak...but ... i dont like the idea of insulation penetration dependent cords ... but... it might be good nuff for what we do?? pack of 12 for cheap

tractor supply has a bakalite rendition of the old USA old radio plug that has a onboard fuse,, looks like NOS usa stuff from yesteryear but made in china.
