Default Help! AC Power Cord for Realistic TRC-457 Base

Anybody know a source, or the specs, for this cord?

The pin spacing is more narrow than any aftermarket products I've
found.

Thanks for your help!

Try power cords from electric shavers, they also have a narrower pin spacing.

BTW; did you measure the pin spacing??? And post it???

The distance from center of one pin to the other is 5/16".

The hole in rear of radio that the plug must fit into is 1/2" across.

Boy that description sound exactly like the power cords used on rechargeable
shavers... I had an FM radio that had the same size jack on it, and an old
shaver cord works just fine!!

Appreciate the replies. Eventually found the AC power cord at:

http://www.kenselectronics.com/index.html

Part # LC-6 for $2.68.

Best selection of cords, plugs, adapters I've ever seen. Not meant to
be spam.
