For anyone else who might need one of these power cords but doesn't know what to search for, look for the Kyowa CS-400 or the Kawasaki KS-5/5E. I did a lot of painstaking research on this and figured I might be able to save some of you some trouble. The similar 3-prong oval plug will fit but might not grip the pins firmly enough. I read that on a site that identified what I needed as a "Japanese calculator" power cord. It is also used with some sewing machines.

If you're going to try to "hotwire" that power connector, you should use crimp-on automotove "bullet" connectors of the proper size, and probably solder them on to your power cable, maybe double heat-shrink the whole length of the connector and crimp/solder, and make a properly dimensioned guide plate to slide over the wiring to secure and maintain alignment of the individual leads once you've seated them on the post. Secure the plate with neighboring screws, or decent gaffer's tape.

I have two vintage 7" Panasonic video monitors with a rectangular version of that round-pin power connector. And fortunately, two power cables to match.

Nope, I found and purchased the proper cord. I'm something of a stickler for originality. Otherwise I probably would have swapped out the connector with an ordinary IEC connector.

Okay, I've been researching replacement rubber for this. The belts are intact and have a decent amount of tension but will be replaced for good measure. I'll probably measure all of them so I can get replacements relatively easily. The melted rubber up front could be a bit of a problem though; I'm not even sure what I'm looking at.

I've made up a parts list, I'm not even sure if everything on it is rubber.

It looks like a tire on the center idler or the left take up melted...Too far gone for me to tell which one had the tire.

Try to sold some wires before you got the proper cable. I'm very curios if it does works.

Center, the rubber on the left is just a thin layer of goo.

Sorry to hear about the rubber having the classic goo disease. I have good luck using Windex type glass cleaner to clean the pulleys off and including my hands and tools. Once you get it up and running mechanically .Then it probably needs a electro cap checkup.

No big deal, it didn't get far. I just got it cleaned up with isopropyl alcohol and paper towel. It wasn't difficult, just a little time-consuming.

Good thing the belts didn't go that way, that would have been a real mess. This deck has a lot of them. Now I need to find out the original dimensions of the melted rubber. The parts list I was looking at lists only one rubber tire.
