Hello, it's taken me a while to obtain this Holbeck Auto Super 8 projector, but it's come to me without a power cord. Does anyone know where I can find a cable to fit this plug? I've tried looking online for 'two-pin flat plug cord', to no avail. Below is an image of the slot, please let me know if you know the correct name for the cord, where I can get one or if you're willing to send me one you no longer need/want - even just to borrow.
Thanks for your help!

In got the same problem, got more projectors with that socket than cables.

It is a matter of keeping eyes open at fleamarkets. In one case I was able to modify the PVC housing of a female plug to make it fit. Or to buy a junk projector just for that cable.
 
Is it the same size as a US plug? Between blades 5/8" but haven't seen a two blade extension for years.
 
just solder your wires directly to the prongs then slide some heat shrink over the connections.
 
This looks like it might work... thank you!!
