MCRU No.18 figure 8 mains cable 1.5 metres long.

As per tile, I bought a couple of weeks to use on my freeview box, but it's just not quite long enough. I'm gonna need 2 metres.
I've put a gold plated fuse in the plug which itself is silver plated.
I would like £35 delivered please, the previous seller stated that the equivalent today is about £90. PayPal friends and family please.
I will inform buyer of postage details as I get them.

Sold, thanks

Just a small note, it is very unwise to use a 13A fuse in this lead as the official current rating of an IEC C7 ‘figure of 8’ connector is only 2.5A.

How does that work when it's used for integrated amps like the PioneerA300R Precision? I normally use a 10A fuse for that.

Most SMPS need at least a 5A fuse into the Fig-8 or Cloverleaf, or would 3A cover everything? I generally only go that low fif CD players & tuners.

You don’t need a 13A fuse for anything other than the biggest power amplifiers.

The Pioneer A300R quotes its power consumption as 330W maximum on the rear panel. As a 3A fuse is good for up to 690W on a 230V supply, so is fine for this. The manual recommends 5A but that’s still higher than necessary, IMHO.
