Hard to get? Don't you mean Maplin stock number HL44X, 2.49 UKP?

Nope. That's the type that fits later Quads etc, and is much smaller -
14mm diameter rather than 28. To the best of my knowledge, the exact type
- or even one which will mate with the older large type - has been
unavailable new for some time.

Of course the obvious answer would be to replace the mains inlet with
something like an IEC, but this wouldn't suit some. ;-)
