what's it connected to?
OP
In fact I think i might have just found one on ebay
OP
Its powering a bit of bespoke made equipment for a theatre, one of the solder lugs inside the connector has broken,
unfortunately there is no space to fit a more standard IEC connector on the equipment, I was going to suggest a stuffing gland and a bit of flex with a plug on, but owner seems keen to keep the old lead
It is a Bulgin 3 pole plug. They used to be very common. But still very common.
Used to see them a lot on radio equipment.

Perfect thank you very much, i get free delivery from farnell also so thats easy
beaten by westie. only just recalled the name bulgin, although i remember them from early 60's radios. btw. i still have some boxed Mullard valves, £,s,d prices stillon the boxes. ??
OP
Iv just noticed it says "Bulgin England" on it, first time i read that i could have sworn it said "made in England"
now i feel silly ?
now i feel silly ?
A lot of old test equipment used to use them as well. And Ferrograph reel-to-reel tape recorders. And Leak valve amplifiers. In fact a lot of stuff did before the IEC type connector was brought in.
