One more time. Anyone?! Would anyone please have an
extra power plug they
could sell me for my generic S-100 computer? Somehow mine
must have gotten
given away with other misc. cords. It's the kind with two sort of oval
female prong inputs on the computer end. Anyway, I'd be happy to furnish a
picture to anyone who needs to verify. I haven't had it up and running for a
couple of years now, and I would like to. Thank you, David

Hi
I have an Allied catalog that is a couple of years
old. They call these SVT cords.
Are you sure? I looked up SVT pwer cords on the net and every site that I looked at
said that SVT was some kind of plastic and not a plug configuration.
I'm trying to figure out what David is looking for but I don't remember ever
seeing a power cord with oval prongs.

Good information, Dwight, but my inclination would be to replace that
two-prong receptacle with a current two-prong and ground unit as is
commonly used on most all equipment now. Safer!

Umm - aren't those plugs the same as used on older kitchen appliances and
calculators? I'd think you could find several at any Goodwill store. Of
course, there's always alligator clips and lampcord, too... the universal
power cord.

Ouch!! That is called "sucide cord"! :-) I once had to make one
to run early old LSI-based calculator for fun but I destroyed that
dangerous cord right after. That nickname for that "bared ended
cord" I didn't know till few weeks ago. Prior to that, I had been
bitten (buzzed) by bad plugs and saw "lightenings" fly when I was
small so I had healthy respect for those invisible electrons do have
teeth after all.
Even pulsed high voltage (60V and up) DC or AC, I do still get "that
Buzzy" feeling then jerks back & Yowch! Depending, I would let off
a blue streak at it.
When I must work with HV stuff, I always double check HV is all
drained away with HV probe then 150K 10W sandblock between that
anode cup and CRT ground strap. Then leave jumper wire clipped to
anode and ground strap. I have seen that mysterious charging itself
back up happen before.

Wizard
