Hi all I have a cobra 86xlr was given to me in almost mint condition.. However I don't have the ac or dc power cables for it.. Looking for the ac power cable if anyone knows where I can get one.. Or can tell me the wiring for the plug..
Thank You

Looking at that, it appears the AC pins are the two on the left side of the plug, and the DC pins are the top (+) and bottom (-) pins on the right side. The middle pin on the right side doesn't appear to be used for anything.

I don't know of anyone having those 5 pin cords for sale any more. Ken's Electronics recommends (and sells) the "CEA-CRST-AC" cord, which is a two pin cord that happens to match up with the AC pins on the 5 pin socket. https://kenselectronics.com/lists/pwrcord.htm

Of course, there's always watching eBay and hoping a cord comes up.

    Who do I contact for a name change. I put in for it over a year ago and it says still under review.
