HW-8 Power plug question

[Michael Clarke]

Hi Alan
Having foolishly and easily connected power reversed polarity and damaged my
HW8, I advise, if you use binding posts,  that you put a fuse in line and a
diode across the supply, its polarity so that it conducts and blows the fuse if
you do the same foolish thing that I did.

Subject: HW-8 Power plug question


I am having a bit of a problem locating a power plug for my HW-8 (male). The
local electronic supply houses have close but not exact plugs. I have been
tempted to install a dual binding post but would prefer to keep it original.
Can someone help me identify the proper plug and/or give me a source for them?

Thank you--
