Are you sure there's three wires that were going to the original 2 pin plug? It might be worth checking that the middle wire of the three isn't a packing string or spacer of some sort. Have you actually stripped the insulation off the ends of the three wires ready to go in the new plug?

If you have a test set and still have the original plug there may be hope. Trim back what you can of the cable remaining from the plug and use your test set to sort out what went where using the test set on ohms.

You said in your 1st post that you had a Blue & 2 Blacks, not a Grey ?
A picture might help.

Im refering to the actual metal strands coming from the blue blk blk wires.

so is it a grey coper wire inside black and blue insulation? is it a wind up?

Is it from eBay?

I've been a sound technician for 10 years and audio junkie for longer, but I've never heard of LTC!

It's looking like a wind up.

Take the top off I wont tell you to unplug it as you cant fit a plug set your meter to ohms or that annoying beeping continuity sound and check from end of each bared cable....One will probably go to an internal fuse so thats the live the other to the other side of the transformer thats the Nuetral and one will go to the chasis Earth mark them and connect to your three pin plug acordingly

Got a wind up torch but never seen a wind up amplifier LOL

BTW i would replace that mains lead due to chance of mechanical wear or failing that put lots i mean lots of tape around it.
