Is there a name for this AC plug type. I'm trying to find a replacement cable for an old 8mm projector.

Look up 'Figure 8" power cord.

Here's one, the pin diameter looks smaller though.

old?

Sorry

Daniel Levi:
I think that might be the connector we used to use on shavers here, might be better asking over on the vintage radio forums, www.vintage-radio.net

Chris Hindle:
Ralph?

I remember a plug like that on some audio gear.
By early 80's they were history.
The pre-amp for my Acoustic Quad II, and Yamaha TC-800D cassette decks had them.

If it were me, I'd open it up, and replace the socket with an IEC model.
Worst case, install a short IEC male pigtail hanging out the socket hole.
Chris.
