I have both a Teac 3300-10 and a Sony TC 630D reel to reel that could benefit from new power cords.
They both have non-polarized, two prong male sockets mounted on the unit and the cords I got with them back in the day were interchangeable.
I've looked around and even ordered a Hosa PWC 178 power cord that LOOKED like it would work, but when I received one today (from Pitbull Audio) I discovered that the female socket sizes and spacing in this cord's end don't QUITE fit. (Much ex-sailor language ensued.....)
I've also purchased a two conductor extension cord end to see if it would work as an end on a homemade cord. But in order for it to fit in the area around the male pins in the tape deck, I'd have to severely cut back the housing around the female sockets. I COULD make that work but it would be an ugly and possibly dangerous kluge.
So, I'd still like to find a proper power cord. .
Can anyone steer me to a good source?
