Vintage Synth Repair

Hello everyone,

Where can I find a power cord for a Juno 106?  I can't seem to find the right parts available from any of the online electronics parts dealers (digikey, etc.).  

It's a power cord without the third ground, but not a figure-eight.  The part that plugs into the keyboard is actually rectangular shaped.  

Thanks for your help.

Michael Carlson

replace it with a 3 prong (IEC) socket. its easy. i did one a few months ago. no soldering if you use crimp connectors and a blade style socket from allparts.com -- pc

you can buy the solderless crimp connectors at radio shack. it took me about 5 minutes to upgrade my 106 and i never have to search for that stupid cable again. -pc

I got a VP-70 (completely bizarre and wonderful unit, by the way) and just replaced the connector with a standard IEC one.  It was fairly quick and easy and solved the power cord problem forever.
