WTB/Need To Buy: iMac G4 AC power cord

[wyatt23]

I just bought an iMac G4 1.25GHz (wooohoo) off ebay, but it doesn't come with an AC power cable. I'm sure i could hack a PC cable that i have up so that it could power the unit on, but i'd really like a genuine one.

So i'd like to buy one of these asap! thanks

Any powercord with the "mickey mouse" type connector should work. Here (http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2117945&cp=&sr=1&origkw=power+cord&kw=power+cord&parentPage=search) is one at radio shack.

i just bought one for 10 dollar shipped.

turns out the technical name for an Apple iMac AC Power Cord is a IEC320-C5/NEMA 5-15P. those are the two types of connectors on each end. they are typically used to power compaq laptop power bricks. a search turned up this heading.... Compaq Style Laptop AC Power Crd IEC320-C5/NEMA 5-15P.

i got it for $3 with $7 shipping. not so bad.
