America?
:laughat:






Sorry, that really does not help, does it? Try Radio Parts or Maplins, they may be able to order one for you...

A 110v site extension lead and an adapter plug could suffice if you're desperate?

Out of curiosity... why?

[Mr Speirs]

Were doing a tour in November of a Yankee band called MGMT and they obviously need 110v to power all their gear.
We're coming out of a transformer but can't find anywhere that will sell the edison extension leads.

Try a builders merchant Britney :p

[Mr Speirs]

Builder merchant do use 110v but not American Connectors.

Hope it helps

[Mr Speirs]

Sorry. I meant linky to a page inside Maplins that shows the 110v Extension Lead :)

[Sean_C]

Might be worth going down there and asking one of their knowledgeable employees? :p

[gettin2dizzy]

Well i bought one that included a step down transformer. Are you wanting just the extension lead itself?

[Mr Speirs]

Yup

[mister c]

If it is definitely 110v why dont you just change the plug to one of the Yellow 16a eu standard ones then use a std extension lead

[Mr Speirs]

I need to be able to plug american appliances into the extensions. Its okay now I've managed to come up with a solution.

[MrMessy]

I work with Americans and if I remember rightly British yellow transformers are centre tapped and not the same as the transformers we use to go from 240 to 110V. You will need a few transformers and leads for the power a band use? Have you checked if their equipment is dual voltage? Can they bring leads across with them? You may need to find a local American Base and see if you can borrow some equipment from them!

I could get you what you need if you post a pic of it.
