The plug is not that difficult to find - it is a 7 pin DIN female line
connector. Hmm, my local suppliers no longer list it. I think this
might work as a 7 pin DIN plug should fit 8 pin DIN socket.

The power supply voltage is not that critical either - I will have to
check my copy of the IIc Technical Reference Manual but 12-15V is
definitely OK and probably up to 20V would not cause problems. The
major problem is the current rating - you need a big plug pack if it is
a linear unit or a decent switchmode plug pack.
