Sunbeam Rheobus Extreme missing power cable...

[Stvwndr219]

I recently bought a sunbeam rheobus extreme second hand but it's missing the power cable, here:



Does anyone know where I can find one or have any tips for soldering some wires onto it? I've never used a soldering iron before, so suggestions on which one to use would be great too.

Thanks!

I can't verify since I don't have one, but to me that looks like a molex to 2-pin cable. Those might be hard to find.
If you have to make it, you wouldn't need a soldering iron. You would need the pins, wire, and crimping/stripping tool for it. Maybe an extraction tool as well.

EDIT: If you mean solder wires directly to the sunbeam, check out the xtreme mods section. I know they had some pretty good solder tuts last I checked.

Its not a standard size 2 pin fan plug, its slightly bigger so I don't think it will be easy to find the exact plug needed. Actually, a standard molex will fit if you are careful, at the cost of the FAN1 header (since the molex will block it). Just make sure you get it the right way around (You want the black/earth wire nearest FAN1). Sure its not the neatest solution, but its the easiest!
