P/N Musical Fidelity X-Cans F34ADT-8
I've managed to break off the plastic earth pin from this power supply and now can't plug it into a socket. There are no markings as to whether it is centre +ve or -ve so I don't know how to spec a replacement
Looking at the front of the plug, the LH pin (goes into RH hole in mains socket) is live? If I connect a multimeter probe to the LH pin and the centre of the round plug shows a voltage and the outer does not then it is centre +ve; if centre does not show a voltage but the outer does then it is centre -ve. Is this correct?
Also a mm ruler shows the centre hole to be close to 3mm and certainly bigger than 2mm so I am guessing 2.9mm rather than 2.1mm.
I apologise for dragging the level of discussion down to baby talk but I am hopelessly out of my depth with this stuff.
