Elizabeth: I did the same as Hdm and have the receipt from Newark Electronics in front of me. The IEC was from Hubbell, I think, #4300.0603- $12 Cdn. The plug was Pass&Seymour hospital grade 5266 - XHG - $25 Cdn. Belden Cord was 17605 -C3-10 -$27 Cdn (with enough to build 2 five foot cords). If you order from Newark make sure you specify that they ship the order all together or you pay seperate shipping if they have it in another warehouse. Assembly was easy, green is ground. I share this because I am not a DIYer. A friend of mine who is into this thinks the plug and IEC would really make a length of Audioquest wire give the big guys a run for their money. Have fun! I did.
Group buy/share spools Belden wire 4 PCs
I am in another forum that often does "group buys" of stuff that's either hard to get or can be had at a BIG discount in bulk. I have read the things on "make your own power cords" and wonder if any have purchased spools of the 'special' # Belden wires recommended for home built cables?? and if they want to sell some of the remainder? or if others want to do some sort of group purchase? of spools? (and is this "ok" with the webmaster? as all of the sales I've seen are of commercial products and really no trading sort of stuff).
Also of the plugs? I've seen and ordered some of the Wattgate 320, but on a regular USA 3 prong that's a medium quality??? can't find.
The gold plated ones yes for $88... too expensive for me, but the usual $5 to $9 stuff is too cheap! Any sites to order some good plugs around $20 to $30?? with individual screwdown openings like on the Wattgate 320 IEC but for a regular grounded plug? And If anyone knows any sites to order the various Belden wires either in bulk or by the foot Please mention them! Thanks
