I just acquired a VAX 4000-700A for free from an organization that was going to simply throw it away. It was working when they unplugged it last July, so I'm hoping it'll fire right up. Problem is, they already threw away all the cables for it.
The power supply has what looks like a C14 socket on it, but it's got a plastic protrusion opposite the earth ground so that a normal C13 plug won't fit in it. In doing some research, it looks like maybe it's a C16 and needs a C15 plug. I found a C14 to C15 converter online, but I haven't ordered it yet.
Does anyone have experience with these machines and whether I'm right about it simply being a C16? I know this is obscure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
