I am still looking for a power cord for a Heathkit SB-303 receiver that I am
restoring. If anyone has one or knows of a source, I would greatly
appreciate a contact. You can reach me at .

Thanks, Jim

Hi

electronicsurplus.com has 6' cheater cords, P/N 5-097
for $1.50. They should work fine with the SB-303.
I know they fit the HRO-500 and the Dow-Key electronic TR switch.

They have a good assortment of tube sockets and other surplus gear
to round out the minimum order.

Don't know about the crime but I do know about SB-303's.

That common cheater cord won't work.

The 303 used a "rare" line cord. Three wire, round pins. No longer
available but you can make a workable substitute.

Go to Radio Shack and buy their $4.99 "Mickey Mouse" line cord.
It's used on Dell laptops and some others. Take a hack saw and
carefully cut Mickey's ears free. Cut. Check the fit. Cut a
little more.

At some point, you'll be able to JAM the cord onto the SB-303. I
think the electrical pattern is the same but you should check that
yourself. ESPECIALLY since Heaths were home wired!!!

I've thought about doing a production run of "real" line cords
as there are some 50,000 -100,000 receivers made that use this
weirdo. Many cords have been lost, all are getting tired.
