Anyone know where I might find a 3-prong Courtesy Outlet? I'd like to replace the 2-prong one in my Super Reverb. Thanks.

Is it the newer style (rectangular), or the old (round) style?

Try "Cascade Surplus Electronics", or "Unicorn Electronics".

The old round one.

Thanks for the leads.

...Went to those sites. Not sure which part to order![This message was edited by Alan Kirk on 22 April 2005 at 06:22 AM.]

Apparently, the old ones aren't made anymore. You can order one here...price is high, though.

Donny,

Thanks. I've been in contact with the ampcrazy guy. In fact, I was in L.A. twice last week but we couldn't coordinate schedules (he works out of his apartment). He sells the outlets for $10 but has a minimum $25 order. I even offered to send him a prepaid box for shipping but he declined. I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and buy $25 worth of stuff from him.

Alan, if you have to buy 3, I'll buy one from you! Might be handy to have around.

Good idea, Donny. I'll think about it. Thanks.

There probably would be a couple bucks shipping charge for these, from LA to me in Santa Barbara, and from me to you.

I'll take one too, Alan. That should cover it for you.

Alan Kirk · Post by **Alan Kirk** » 25 Apr 2005 3:49 pm

Okay. I'll put in the order.

Keith and Donny,

I called the guy today. He wants a Postal money order only, which means I have to go stand in line at the Post Office.

These things are made by Amphenol. I'm wondering if they can be had from www.mouser.com for less money and less hassle. I looked in my hard copy catalog but can't find them. Either of you guys want to take a stab at the mouser web site?
