  • Mellotron power cord

    Does anyone know where a Mellotron power cord can be had?

    The unit has a 3 pin, male connector that resembles an XLR jack, except the pin spacing is wider.

      Probably a "Bulgin" mains connector. These were popular in the late 60s/early 70s, particularly in the UK.

      They predate the ubiquitous IEC connector. You'll see these on older Hiwatts and Marshalls.
      These are inherently less safe than modern alternatives, and unless "vintage correctness" is a must, I prefer to replace them with something newer.
      Note that Bulgin is a generic connector manufacturer like Rean or Neutrik, so just searching for "Bulgin" won't steer you in the right direction.
