Help, plug type for Devere and GEM timers

[Mark e Mark]

Hi Guys, after 4 years away from printing due divorce, house and job more to a differnt part of the Uk, I am trying to resirrect you darkroom. I have both a GEM and Devere universal timers but no leafs tobplug into the back of them. The power out socket consists of 3 round holes for roind section plug. The GEM pin holes are bigger than the Devere one. Does anyone know of the connector that plugs into these timers. I have failed with Google. I can then order a connector of RS to make up a lead. Or are there leaads out there. Many Thanks Mark

I don't have a DeVere, but it sounds like a Schuko connector?

Hi Mike, Thanks for your reply. The schuko plug is the type they used on the Meopta viponel timer (mine has just broke which is why I am utilising the Devere or GEM timer I have). So no it is not a schuko connector . Images attached, plug scoket next to £1 coin for scale.

I think that could be the right connector!

An alternative may be to bypass the socket and use a lead with a more common connector on it?

https://www.plugsocketmuseum.nl/Bulgin1.html Thanks to this site I think I have nailed it. Have ordered 2 types, lets see if they fit.

Joy, they are the right ones. I think the connectors are new old stock and no longer manufactured.
