IEC connector?

There are many variants (pin layout), so be careful when you choose the replacement.

edit: looks like what you need is the C14 variant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_connector#Appliance_Coupler_standard_sheets

Yup, it's an IEC.  If you can wait then order it online for about $6.00 otherwise Radio Shack will gladly sell you one for about double that.

wow! that was quick! y'all reckon Mouser would have it?

[croquet hoop]

Sure. For instance: http://fr.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Kobiconn/161-R301B07-E/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMv1TUPJeFpwbhNb2LLV2zw6wEih7O7UrUE%3d

(just check the datashet to be sure, but it should be okay)

LOL! actually, i'm rebuilding an old, cheap amp that one of my co workers was given. it's a transistor type. I have two tube amps, and actually this thing has a tone all it's own. it sounds cheap, but it might have a place. you ever seen one of these?

No I haven't, but it looks most interesting.

It is. All I have left to do is replace the plug and finish up some of the other wiring and hope for the best! I'll post some audio later.

Good luck sir, them things will fry and take you along with it. Be careful!

[TreeSlayer]

Will do, ole Bud. I know these things ain't no pedal! I've been very careful and double triple checking behind myself. Thanks for the concern. Take care! I hope the bad weather we've been getting doesn't make it to your neck of the woods!
