    Evakool power plugs

    The power cord that is $25 + $20 postage from Evakool. I tried everywhere to find them with no luck including numerous search sessions on Google. I believe this is the one. Just for your info $3 from Jaycar.

    2 Pin Line Female Microphone Connector | Circular/DIN | Plugs, Sockets & Adaptors | Interconnect | PRODUCTS | PS2014 | Jaycar Electronics



    Now for the story that led me to this find. It all starts here



    Roxy, my psycho friend ate my fridge power cord.

    but 2 days later vomitted it up again

    and I rewired it successfully back into service.

    but 2years later I accidentally pulled on the lead and pulled the plug out.

    twice

    but the second time broke the plug.

    So I google searched everywhere for the plug and went to all of the local dealers.

    and the cost of the part was expensive. $25 + $20 delivery!

    Actually, I wanted 1 cord Evakool plug lead and one EvaKool to Evakool lead so I could plug it direct into the 24V charger rather than using Ciggie plugs which fail. $95 to do that!

    But I found a website in WA (Allvolts) where they already had Evakool lead part (Waeco part though) and an EvaKool to Evakool lead which Waeco tuse to hook up 2 battery packs. $72 and laughing. Ordered and the tracking number came through within about 1 minute! Very Happy!

    but then one their website I subsequently found the power plug only, the part that I wanted! I'd searched everywhere for this with no luck!

    And the part was worth $3ea!

    So there, to repair the fridge lead, and buy the other lead, it cost me $72 from WA for $95 worth of parts which were worth $9 from down the road.

    Of, the reason why I couldn't find that particular power plug... is because it turns out that its actually a microphone plug.
    Cheers

    Simon, had you posted a pic of the old plug, we old electronics techs could have told you what you needed.

    I did, and foetal was underlined as an error. Then Google told me it was fetal, so I checked a link (wiki??) which redirected me from foetal to fetal.

    I just figured that I'd been wrong all of these years.

    Even after she's eaten it, Roxy is messing with your head.
    BTW I'm missing a leather jacket that was in the car when I last stopped by, did she eat that?

    I'll drop that jacket off for you. BTW it's not really leather anymore.

    Just so you know Simon,, I tried three different sets of ciggie plugs/sockets in the Van and all combo's failed to handle the 6 amps my laptop draws.

    You believed something you read on the internet?

    The Internet suggests it's ligature of o and e in any case. AULRO won't display it.
