old to new style shaver adapter

Oct 11, 2006 4 Replies

Hi,



I have an old style shaver adapter in the bathroom (these take slightly thinner plugs than the new ones) and a requirement to plug in a device with a new style plug. Any ideas? Thanks, Andy



The "continental adaptors" used to plug UK plugs into euro sockets should work. They usually take 2-pin shaver plugs which are too big to go directly into the european mains sockets.

Can you not enlarge the holes slightly and open the brass claws inside the thing, just a bit.

Replace the socket?

This worked perfectly - they even have rounded bits in the uk bit of the adapter for this purpose.

Thanks. Andy
