"If you blow up though, I am not responsible" Ahh that takes me back to my covert operations days! ;)
Anyway, I've actually got a proper adaptor but the mixer power pack is so hefty that it just topples out of the socket.. Maybe I'll give your plastic Biro-lid of death method a go!! cheers, Nick -----Original Message----- From: Kovert @MCR [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 08 March 2002 12:51 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: 2 Pin Euro PSU -> earthing? By the way, u can use a 2-pin plug easy enough anyway incase you didnt know. Just get a biro, or something similarly plastic and push the little plastic bit in the earth bit (top hole) of the socket in with it, then just put the 2-pin plug into the bottom 2 holes et viola! My 1200s have two pin plugs on them and they work fine...If you blow up though, I am not responsible :P Easy, Kovert >From: "Nick Lankester" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: "Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List" ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: "Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: 2 Pin Euro PSU -> earthing? >Date: Fri, 8 Mar 2002 12:16:29 -0000 > >Hi Mat, > >Errrm...
