New (to me) Apple display and speakers

Did not think of that. I do have an idea, but it will need to wait until Tuesday when I can take a look. There is a ViewSonic monitor that regularly sells replacement parts that may have the same socket size.
Would you be so kind as to measure the size of the hole in the plug as well as with the metal included?

Come to think of it, that adapter has another type of plug. Go ahead and order the eBay one if you can!
Not sure if you can get this in Canada but here this may fit.
Sadly, aftermarket support for this screen is not there at all. I see one tip that may fit, but it is a try and return type of thing unfortunately.
VGA doesn't carry the power to run a display. ADC (Apple Display Connector) does however. You would need to find an appropriate adapter and splice the wires onto it.
Can you show me what parts you are referencing? Are you saying you could buy the power supply brick itself and a cable with double female connectors?
The power supply is a standard 24 volt DC one. I don't recall the amps. From that you could make or buy an adapter to fit the display's male power cord.
That does work. I've got 3 of these 15" displays, and the oldest one (dark blue) was setup to work with the PowerBook adapter. It works just fine with no heat and no screech. If you get desperate, you can sure do it, but I'd just wait and grab the original brick when one comes up on eBay. They do show up from time to time.
I guess you better start private messaging them. Sadly, these adapters are rare and more and more are going by the way of the Dodo.
That is a great display, VGA, S-video, and composite. I have one I bought in '99 or so from the CDW outlet. It looks like just the casing is cracked on that PS, I would press the cord in place and fill the void with silicone and wrap it tightly with tape. I would be concerned if the line power cable was damaged.
