Closed VIC-20 Two-Prong PSU Connector

[TheMightyMadman]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a two-prong connector suitable for use with an early VIC-20, as I have a butchered PSU I want to repair. If anyone has one going spare, please let me know! Thanks

P.S.: EU ones are different from NTSC ones, I need an EU one.
P.P.S: I know that CoolNovelties sell 3D printed ones, however they're always out of stock.

Many thanks,

Adam

Can't you use a plug from an electric razor or similar?

Thanks for the idea I'm not sure to be honest, the 'prongs' are pretty far apart. The 3D printed ones can be seen here:

You can feed 9v directly to the back of the connector. Add a barrel connector hanging out the cartridge port.

Thanks for the idea Mike, but I'd like to use this PSU on multiple units (i.e. for testing) so I'd prefer not to make hardware modifications to the computers themselves
