Does anyone know where I can find an original or repro courtesy receptacle --rectangular? I've not had much luck finding one to replace the broken one on my 210-Sixty Five....also, has anyone ever seen amp covers (original or repro) to fit the 210 amp? My original vinyl cover (hogged from a fender) has long since become split and torn from being transported in the back of my various pickup trucks since 1975. any input would be appreciated. ed | ||

Hi Ed, I had D2F custom make a cover for my RD-50 112. The did an exellent job. Perfect fit and top quality! Here's their website: http://www.d2fcovers.com/Amplifier_cover s.htm Custom Amp Covers, Inc. also makes covers for your amp: http://store.amplifiercovers.com/musicma n.html | ||

Chuck, thanx for the help, I've got my Custom Cover on the way. BTW, I followed Trent's recap adventures closely (if you are still doing yours, listen to Mike)....Mike held my hand through a similar job back in october/november (?) 2005, guys like him, Terry and Steve are what makes this site so helpful/great. carl, a courtesy receptacle (are you the guy from OZ? I don't know if they have them on the export models) on a domestic Musicman is a small 110v. "plug" on the back panel of our amps--you see them also on fenders and other american-made amplifiers. has anyone a clue where I can find a rectangular replacement for the one on my '75 210-Sixty Five? thanx all, ed | ||

yes from oz. i know the things now, we dont have them on our models, nor do we have a ground switch (3 prong plug as well). is that so you can run other components out from the amps power, ive seen it in stereo for the record player. | ||

Just use a search engine (like Google) to search for: Chassis-Mount AC Receptacle www.cablesforless.com sells a snap-in 3-prong model that may fit (you will have to measure the size of the chassis cut-out tho know what you are looking for). There are plenty of other links too. Steve | ||

Hi Ed, You can get one from Mousser, part #5160-67BK. This is a snap in and rectangular. If you have the one that is more square...let me know and I will give you the part # for that one. The rectangular one is 11/16" by 15/16" for hole size. Carl from Oz, I have a gentleman in Germany that is trying to wire in a power transformer. If you could e-mail him and maybe help him with the wiring, I know he would appreciate it. If you would e-mail me, I will forward you his e-mail address. Terry. | ||

thank you, steve and terry! your signposts showed me the path and I am on the scent of the beast I am hunting. it is the rectangular one, terry, thanx for the part number. I've said it once, I think I've said it a hundred times: this site is an incredible resource for those of us still using these workhorses we bought back in the dark ages. yes, they are built like tanks, but occasionally even an M1 Abrams needs servicing...not possible without this site. ed yes, carl. you can let a buddy plug his amp in or use it for your own effects' power supply. they are really handy for outdoor gigs with limited power supplies (do they still have "Love-ins"?). | ||

Hey guys, At the moment,I'm having a heck of a time! I have a RD 112 fifty. This amp has a sqare courtesy receptacle on the back-left side of the chassis. Sadly, mine is chipped. It still works, but detracts from the otherwise pristine example. WHERE CAN I FIND A REPLACEMENT??!! I've been hunting on the Internet, but am unsure of what is needed. Any information would be greatly appreciated. (company, part number...etc) | ||

Here's a funny story. For those of you that are unaware, I'm a math teacher at the middle school level. Several days ago, I was in the middle of a lesson and was using my overhead projector. While using the projector, I noticed the cart it was sitting on had several receptacles on it. They looked suspiciously familiar, yet, I couldn't place them. Then, in a moment of, "Eureka!" I realized they were the EXACT same receptacle located on my Music Man RD 112 fifty. Needless to say, I contacted the custodian and asked if any old broken carts were in the building. Sure enough there were. I was able to snag one for my amp! Problem solved. |
