Free. Small mains distribution box with four US 2 pin sockets

[walpurgis]

Any use to you? I made this little distribution box about thirty years ago to use with vintage Japanese gear with US plugs on, as I didn't want to butcher leads. Not sure if it's even legal to use one now. It has an earth post/socket, fuse, neon and small mounting holes in the back. It needs a new 3 core lead fitted. Anyway, if it's of use to anyone, just cover the postage and it's yours.

Strictly speaking the use of American 2-pin flat blade mains connectors is outlawed in the UK, for the simple reason that it it possible to incorrectly insert such a plug so that only one of the blades makes a connection, with the second contacting the metalwork.

However one would assume that anyone interested would "know what they are doing", just as you did; so I see no reason to be overtly concerned over safety issues.
