Hi Bob, I will give you the benefit of my very limited experience, and please note I am totally unqualified to offer this advice, but its never stopped me before! I have been in this same situation twice recently, and resolved as follows:
1 - Hard wire the power straight into the projector. If there is no need for a disconnectable power cable, then do away with it. 2 - I have a Chinon 8000 but didn't have the power cable. So removed the existing 240v receptor connector, and replaced it quite easily and tidily with a 240v connector salvaged from a standard legacy computer PSU, and then of course just used the standard "kettle" computer lead to power it. Just to reiterate, I am totally unqualified to offer electrical advice so please use it at your discretion. First pic is a Chinon 8000 with its original connector. Second pic is the modified one Hope this helps Graham
