	Hi, I have an instrument that died a fiery death two weeks ago! The mains filter inlet just decided to self-destruct! its one of those multi-inlet units, IEC plug, mains voltage selector, fuses and mains switch!! I have tried everywhere in the UK to find a replacement, even Schaffner UK, but nobody has one in stock, the only way I can get one is to order 20 of them!! at £20 each its not worth it... Please can any one in Europe or elsewhere ask to see if they can get hold of one? I can pay using paypal or moneybookers.com in any currency you want? The part number is Schaffner FN372-2/21 I can use a FN370-2/21 or even a /22 part number. Anyone help? John. __________________ A little knowledge is a dangerous thing - Googling is far worse!

	Try ebay. I took a quick look and found some that might work at a cost of $3.99 usd. Search on "Schaffner".

	No nothing on ebay.... It has to be the above part number(s) or it won't fit, the only choice I have is to hardwire the multimeter and forget the fuse or switch, but then I'd have a load of wires inside carrying mains... its a very tightly packed precision bench multimeter, so I'm stuffed if I can't find the part...

	Can yu find the makers mark on the part? The only solution is to make a small external box with the filter/fuse/switch as discretes. You can easily make this in a small plastic box. Aurizon

	Oh yes i've quoted the makers part number above as Schaffner part No FN372-2/21 Its just that its not in stock in the UK and to get one would involve a minimum order quantity of 20... If anyone has a distributor with one in stock that's what I want!! John. __________________ A little knowledge is a dangerous thing - Googling is far worse!

	Ohhh that looks fine, its the version with the American fuse sizes (1/4" x 11/4") but even if I have to use an odd fuse size its worth it.... now I wonder how much they will charge for shipping? John - thanks a lot ozzb __________________ A little knowledge is a dangerous thing - Googling is far worse!
