Hmm, araldite was not very successfull, I think the thickness there is too
thin to be strong.
Not to worry, good old duct tape in use at the moment. :-)

I've got a Yamaha surround/DSP processor/amp that is likely 10-12 years
old (eBay purchase). It has a switched mains out with quite a low
rating. The plug for that looks similarly unobtainable and I don'r
recognise the socket. So it is a feature of some newer kit as well.

IIRC, it's called something like a Euro facilities plug. And as you said
made from unobtanium - even when the amp was current. I did eventually
find one for mine, though.

The 'far too many power switches' issue was solved by one of those smart
multiway mains leads that detects the current draw on one of the sockets.

But they're ugly things.
