[Marchant figurematic 8ADX] Anyone know a source for a
power cord
for this machine?
Is it circular with two cylindrical prongs in the jack? This
was semi-common on office equipment in the 40's/50's/60's. I don't
know where to buy them new, but keep an eye open for other office
equipment from that era.
If you can find similar shape/size contacts in any of the "modern"
plug/receptacle lines, one common technique is to crimp the contacts
onto wires and then mold (using epoxy, hard silicone/RTV, etc.) a
new plug around them.
For just dinking around many of us have been known to use alligator
clips :-).
