[Wanted] American Plugs 120V

[Superully]

for a couple of stepdown transformers i'm looking for american 120v plugs (3 pins) like this one - only somewhat cheaper (because i need more than one).



if you know of a good address to get those (haven't been able to find cheap ones at rs online), please let me know. i can't continue my restos without them ...

If you can't get them locally (Europe), I can send you some from the US.

Shipping may be the killer - I sent a laser disc to France and it was ~CAN$70, athough this would be a smaller package.

thx a lot for your offer, but i'm afraid shipping would kill the deal since i need 4 max. don't know if you can check the shipping price online, destination would be germany!

You could probably fit 4 in one of those 14$ international flatrate boxes. That would probably be the cheapest option.

[PaulSwan]

These are $2 to $3 depending on which one...

Can't you use these ? Simply cut the cable and strip the wires...

would be an option, but i'd prefer a "cleaner" solution. in the meantime, i've found a shop which sells the plugs for 5 euros a piece, but they don't sell to private persons (like rs online), but i placed my order nevertheless and just put a . (dot) in the company's name address line. let's see whether they take it or not ...

thx, that one looks funky, andreas, and it comes from "my favorite country - china". 20 - 30 days delivery vs. free shipping - i'll have to think about that!

Ok, I checked the shipping online and the cost is not even close to justify it. Sorry
