[quote name='cfb_de' date='Jul 1 2004, 11:49 PM']Hi Niall,
of course. My English is subject to ongoing corrosion so don't mind any mistakes:-)
In fact I don't know anything about VEB Galvano dryers but own an old one from Buescher. In German, we have two kinds of plugs for those machines: "Kaltger?estecker" (inlet connector for non-heating apparatus ?) and "Hei?er?estecker". "Kaltger?estecker" is the one on your computer's power supply, "Hei?er?estecker" looks like this: (don't mind the photo...) [url="http://www.borgerding.de/heissgeraete.jpg"]heissgeraete.jpg[/url]. My bathroom tiles are 25x25cm.
Werner added, that normal soldering shouldn't work because of high temperature inside the plug (your dryer gets quite hot I guess). I cannot confirm this, mine works. I soldered mine just like any other device. But, plugs with screw-on cable are much more common indeed.
Those plugs have been used on older german irons or waffle irons. Like Werner wrote, they've been made from caramic or bakelite-type plastics.
If you won't manage to get a proper plug, try to use (and keep serious risks of both life and health in mind!!!) two banana plugs attached to a cable. I hope Werner won't read this;-)
Best regards and greetings from Sindelfingen,
Franz

Thanx for your fullsome reply to my question!
I live in Ireland so the voltage would be about the same as yours in Germany!
However ,I think that plug would be only be available in
Germany!
So my next question is can any of you people get me one of these plugs!
I take it foto-Galvano is no longer in bussiness!
Thank for you help on this matter!
Niall
