[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 695119, member: 199791"] If you're going to replace the socket, it would be better to stick with the same-sized C14 (3-pin kettle-type) socket, earthing wouldn't be necessary on such a device anyway, so you should be fine leaving that disconnected, or you could use a C18 connector (same style, just missing the earth pin) and you can just use a bog-standard cable like what you use on a PC... :) Pic is of a C14 socket... And a link to the various IEC connectors on the market: _http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iec_connectors [/QUOTE]
