Pretty sure Mexico and Canada uses same plug as U.S (all in North America after all)
so I will include the 3 prong cord.


Yes they are the exact same :)

Thanks! I'll be sending paypal payment later today

Not sure what gauge...
From Ray Carlsen,

"...the wires in that [original A500 PS] cable are pretty thin, same as in a C128 PS cable... copper is expensive. Commodore got around that by installing a "sense" line, the fifth wire in the cable. It provides feedback to the PS board so that when the load on the +5VDC is increased (computer on) the PS feeds out a little more voltage to compensate.

The new [modern] power module has no such sense line, so I use heavier gauge wire to minimize the voltage drop in the cable."

(snip)

"I wonder how those modified Amiga power supplies would hold up when the load is very
heavy... when the user has added enhancements such as extra RAM, hard drive and CPU accelerator."

(snip)

"I use #16 wire in a 5' cable to feed a C128 and go to #14 for longer runs or to feed an Amiga which I know to be a power hog."

I notice there is no on/off switch, so you have to unplug cord as off.
There is a green led to show power.

These are handy for such instances.

2 units left.

if  you need a power switch, putting a inline on the iec cord is an option, you should let ground/earth wire pass through uncut if possible

In U.K. I think all outlets have a switch already.

OK, last two sold to the above two people.
I guess I need to engineer the 5pin Square connector from scratch, as that is stopping me for doing anymore units.

Ask Mech where he got his production run made when he was building power supplies a few years back.  I am pretty sure he didn't buy them off the shelf, and had to have them fabricated.
