Argh someone PLEASE find me this bloody thing

viz

A socket that you plug a c7 lead into (like a tape player figure-of-8 lead). I need one that I can wire up, not a moulded one. Can’t seem to find them anywhere. 

viz

Found the fuckers.

Don't even know why you're bringing fonts into it tbh. Comic sans this forum aint.

You know quite recently I was struck by just how clear and legible Comic Sans is. 

It has a terrible reputation, (perhaps a bit like Nickelback), but if you get beyond that and judge it anew it's pretty good (perhaps a bit like..?) but Comic Sans is okay.  Worth another look.

This place is indeed a fount of knowledge, though possibly not a suppository of typefaces...

viz

Font is obviously the original word; font and fount both come from the Latin fons originally and the French fontaine, obviously. I expect the added ‘u’ in fount is a later anglicization

I normally search for C8 mains inlet,   had a Roland monitor in last week with a f#cked C8 socket, got it form CPC.co.uk for a quid

This is not a hill I'm prepared to die on, got to love a different viewpoint.

Hmm. Ok, that first link has some good stuff. Fair enough. It’s not a montain upon which I’m prepared to die either!

Mr 1969 - have you ever seen an inline one, rather than a pcb one?

No, I’m basically looking for an extension lead, but one that I can wire up.
