[Heathkit] SB-401 AC receptacle and SB power cords

[Shawn Duley]

When I got my 401 the chassis mounted ac receptacle was broken.  A local
store had a box of these and one of them fit perfectly.  Instead of
solder tabs, these had large female pins, and slightly red shade of
insulation board.  It would probably cost more to ship than they are
worth, but if anyone needs one let me know.  Cost a buck a piece.

In my search for extra/replacement power cords for the SB303, I found a
manufacturer with a mold that almost exactly matches this cord.  Pin
spacing appears identical, but the insertion part is a little wide with
rounded instead of flat edges.  Would probably trim with a hot knife.
They will also make a mold and manufacture from a sample.  Problem is,
being a whoesale manufacturer, and me not being in the electronics
business, I may or may not be able to get a quote and the lot size may
be too big for me to handle.  Will try to email and see if one of their
customers may have had any of these made.  Any one with a business that
might be interested in helping out, let me know.
