US Source for Stage 2 Power Cord

Post by e8ndave »

I want to pick up a couple of extra power cords (US) for my NS2. There are about 30 of them listed on ebay that look really cheap. Is there a source for original Nord power cords or something of similar quality that you have run across? Also, is there a name for that type of connector?

Thanks!

They're called "figure 8" or C7 connector.

Totally generic, any robust looking one will do. Nord outsources them for sure.

You can probably even get at a second hand store like Goodwill. Same cord as most desktop PC's use here in the US. I think I have 2 or 3 myself.

I bought a few on Amazon. One really cheap (and really awful) and one for a bit more money that is actually pretty good.

If you're in the US, find a Radio Shack and ask for a "boombox power cord". Since the Nord doesn't draw much power, most anything will do :)
I think I have gear issues ....
