Hi
Having just increased my collection with a VAX 4000-300 I have hit
on a minor problem.=20
The mains connector into the H7874 PSU is a normal IEC connector with
one exception.
Directly below the middle pin is a rib or ridge that would require a
groove or slot in the=20
mating free connector.

Before I start hacking up cables does anybody recognise this plug.
Sounds like a 'hot condition' IEC connector. It was originally used on
kettles, and the like, and was designed (a) to withstand higher
temperaturs than the normal on, and (b) it's rated at 10A (IIRC), the
normal one being originally rated at 6A. It's the latter that's important
here.
Any dectnet electronics shop in the UK would stock it.
