[GreenKeys] Power Cord for early model Dovetron MPC-1000R

[Steve Ripper]

Jack,

Thanks for the observation. You know I have had this unit for quite some
time and even attempted to fire it up. I assumed the ground connection was
made through the connector housing, but you are correct, the ground pin
looks to have been blown away. A sure indication of a problem at some point
in its life. I guess it's a good thing I never tried to power up this unit.
I would either been electrocuted, or let all the smoke out!

Cheers,

Obviously, the ground terminal pin is missing (or maybe was blown
off!).

Steve:

My Dovetron Tempest MPC-1000T has a round 2 terminal connector.

Here is a link to a photo of the connector.

Don’t know if this helps or make the issue more confusing.

I'm in need of one of these AC cords.  It's not the NEMA type that is
prevalent in all of today's electronics, but is oval shaped with three
round
contacts with the center (ground?) conductor slightly lower than the
hot and
nuetral conductors.  I believe Jack mentioned to me that they may have
been
used on the Tempest model of the Dovetron.  My Dovetron is not a
Tempest
model but is one of the first few "R" models.  Serial number R006.

Any help appreciated!
