Hi All-

I'm looking for a power adapter for a Bauer T1S or an equivalent.

THANKS!

Tim

Do you mean the European IEC mains lead?

Two Pin Power Adapter. Wondering if its a Euro adapter.

Hi Tim,

Can you post a picture?

The T15 was introduced in 1970, but obviously went some change as regards the mains input plug. In a copy of the manual it clearly shows a three-pin plug.

I therefore suggest that you change the plug for a three-pin version.

You will then be able to use the standard lead as I mentioned earlier.

It's a T1S not T15 (S=Silent)

I believe a friend of mine will have the correct adapter as I don't want to deface the projector. [Smile]

Thanks!

I would definitely go the three pin route and in the process ground the frame of the machine too.

What you run into with the two pin settup is if a live conductor comes loose inside the machine and touches the chassis now any piece of metal attached to chassis is at line voltage and if you touch it you can be shocked just as if you stuck a finger in a light socket!

With the chassis grounded, when the chassis is exposed to line voltage the fuse pops and the case stays at zero volts.

If you look at a two conductor appliance these days they are either plastic cased, double insulated or really dangerous!

Yeah, gonna keep it a two. This things built like a tank and I'm not gonna rip it apart. A friend of mine does indeed have the correct adapter. Thanks Everybody! [Big Grin]

Looks pretty close to a 1950's toaster, waffle iron or coffee pot cord. Here is an ebay seller that can tell you more about the connector...round or rectangular holes, etc.

(Not my listing!)

As a collector, I agree with keeping the original design. (My experience as a tech tells me to replace this with a standard computer (3 wire) connector.)

Good luck!

Sorry, Timothy, that I misread the model number. How stupid of Bauer to have such similar numbers for such dis-similar projectors. My computer is a laptop and doesn't have a large screen.

Posted by Timothy Price (Member # 1832) on September 23, 2013, 10:35 AM:

I agree Maurice! [Smile]

I mean T15 and T1S? C'mon!

Posted by Jon Byler (Member # 3933) on September 23, 2013, 12:34 PM:

Tim,

does your friend know the specific name for that plug? like how the germans named it? Our standard 125V plug is a NEMA 1-15P (R - for receptacle), and the 3 wire version has a different name, 5-15P. Just curious in the event I need to look for one down the line.

Given how often projectors come up for sale with no power cord, It would be nice if we could get a list together of all the random plugs one needs for various projectors, from the german standard ones to the odd two and three round pin plugs on the elmos, and whatever else is out there.

I can never understand how a projector can lose its power lead, probably goes to the same place that Instruction Manuals go!
