Identify this connector

Red Alert · 2010-12-26 15:22:06

I have an audio amplifier that has a relay-switched socket on the back, rated for up to 100 W. The problem is that instead of an IEC connector, it has some other connector, which definitely is not for an American plug either. Can anyone shed any light on this? MainsLead.png

Thanks!!

From asking in Peat's as well, a load of Yamaha amplifiers had these connectors. They recommended replacing it with an IEC connector, but of course the amplifier's double insulated, so a grounded plug shouldn't be inserted into it. I think I'll shelve it until I've a free day to have a look inside and see what the swap would be like.
