Well, on my vernable Corsair II the power plug mod was easy...I went to rat
shack and got a couple of those molex high amperage plug and wired it up
myself....I use a homebrew power supply, and the Corsair's circut breaker so
the job was easy.
I am not too sure abt the Pegasus thou, as its resident plug is soldered
direct to a pc board. Will play around with this winter.
The older Delta I used to have, and ran full bore rtty with, fried the
originial plug! Too much current!
