2-pin toothbrush / shaver plug - suppliers ?

[aberdeen]

Having removed the 2-pin plug from my electric toothbrush, rather than
use an adapter, I now wish to replace it but can't find anyone that
sells them. Anyone know of a supplier ? I tried B&Q and Maplin but no
joy there.

TIA

You may find that the plug has to be moulded on for "safety" reasons
(preventing ingress of moisture etc) so you're probably snookered.

Most shaver sockets will take US 2-pin plugs. Maplin HL17T. (for 110V
use only)

If a Euro Plug will fit, then

I have two from dead electric toothbrushes in my waste bin at present.
They are the moulded type, but if you are happy to join a cable instead of
having a fixable plug you are welcome to them.
Just let me know quickly :-)

They will fit into UK shaver sockets without problem. When
travelling to the mainland I take a shaver lead with one on with me,
as it also works in UK shaver sockets. One of a variety of leads I
have, which I sometimes produce with a smug grin at an appropriate
moment. The last time was on a train between Brussels and London,
the seats of which have alternate UK and French sockets. We were
producing a press release and someone offered to move so I could use
the UK socket at their seat, with a smile I was able to say, "we
have the technology", and produce the appropriate computer lead with
a French/German plug:-)

As well as CPC these plugs can be found on
<http://www.leadsdirect.co.uk/> though a little bit more expensive.
That site is useful as it has a variety of leads and some plugs.
Between CPC and leads direct one can obtain a variety of electrical
bits and bobs for travel.

I find matches increasingly difficult to find. Disposable cigarette
lighters don't wedge in the holes very well.

if not that "brave" could use DWER's cast-off moulded on plug and
simply twist the copper wires together?... if fussy wrap each join
with a bit of sellotape for added protection from moisture......and
hope like F the supply has (working) RCD protection ;>o

Its a rechargeable tooth brush so fit a normal plug and charge it in the
bedroom.

Don't forget the fuse; there's surely an old screw around.

Changed times, indeed.
