Farfisa Power Cord
2008-05-20 by Kirk Topits
Hi All, I recently purchased a Farfisa OS42SR preamp, circa 1970. Farfisa was using detachable (modular) power cords for amps. However, this was prior to the standardization of the AC power connectors that are now used on PC's. It is similar, but wider, and has a polarity notch in the center (typically in gray plastic). Anyone know where to get a power cord, or the female plug that connects to the amp. I am hoping to not need to do surgery to the connector on the amp (although I have seen several that have been modified to use PC compatable power cords). I actually have two Farfisa amps, one has a cord and the other doesn't. So I have photos of each connector. Both are gray blakite(?). both have "6/250" on them (I assume 6amp, 250vAC since this is for 110 or 240 volts). Female connector on cord is part number D11-456 Male receptacle (on amp) is part number S11-693 (with screw terminals) http://www.ktopits.com/farfisa7/farfisa_D11-456_S11-693_1.jpg http://www.ktopits.com/farfisa7/farfisa_D11-456_S11-693_2.jpg http://www.ktopits.com/farfisa7/farfisa_D11-456_S11-693_3.jpg (Note the there are no spaces in URL, it has underscore) Thanks!
