RO 150 Enhancement

[rich1]

Back on the Yahoo pages there was a part number for a Plug-it pigtail. I have looked for it, but I could not find it. I have the boom arm now, and swapping cords is starting to drive me crazy. Would anyone have the part number handy so I can order one.

Thanks

Ric

Thanks, Brice but I am looking for a receptacle. I intend on cutting the cord on my old school RO 150, and putting a Plug-it receptacle where the cord was.

Thanks

Ric

From what I can tell it is not avaiable in the us.  If you find a source for one let me know.

How about ordering a female Plug-it connector from spare parts and splicing it to a standard female electrical recepticle?  You would not have to cut your power cord unless you want to.  I think this is the one from the RO150FEQ:
490282 Socket housing 120V 1 3.71 USD

Has anyone done this and has it worked?  If so please post picks the adapter seems like it is made to mount in a shell of the tool.
