Share your knowledge on these two classic MPCs

Have an MPC arriving soon from Australia.... buvt it's a US model (aren't they all?) running at 110v...

Obviously I need a stepdown transformer so that it works in the uk with our 240 volts...

My problem is that I'd like to order a cable so I can get started straight away!

I need something that goes from the MPC to a standard US 3 pin plug (even though the MPC is 'unearthed and only uses 2 pins...)

My question is what type of output has the US MPC 110 got... I understand that it's 2 pin...is it the same one Akai used on the s950 etc...
/

I've included a link to a page with pretty pictures... anyone able to help, I'd be very grateful!

Sorry it's such a dull technical question!

there was a post about this a while back, don't know myself. Check the "bible" at the top of the forum.

Anyone fancy taking a quick picture of the back of their mpc 60II... particularly if it's an american 110 v model?

Cheers.

Here's the MPC60II manual. Look at page 10 for what the power connector looks like.
