Seeking power cable

Question

Hi everybody, I'm seeking the 3 prong cable for the iMac G4 17" model. Where could I get the compatible one with a rectangle end.

Answer 1

Given the mains end of the cable from elsewhere (US/Canada) would be incorrect,
requiring an adapter to fit your household power, you may try and see if a supplier
of used and other Apple parts in Australia has a correct version of the cable for the
iMac G4 (even those listed above point to only one version for the iMac G4 series)
the others say 'do not use with iMac G4' in their web pages.
http://www.applebits.net/catalog/index.php
They show a non-apple but otherwise correct cable for $12.95 AU$
to fit iMac G4 700~1.25 and Mini models; but not official part nos.
Model: This is a black non-Apple power cable for all iMac G4s.
{ ACCAPCIECC7 } $12.95 - new.
The company on whose web page, which I found online by searching 'australia apple'
may be able to find and send you a cable. If you can find a cable with the correct end
fitting the iMac G4 series (700/800/1.0 & 1.25 iMac + Mac Mini G4 use similar) you
could replace the mains-end of the cable with a regional power plug. The computers
themselves have an automatic power supply, so an adapter or correct plug end is all
that would be needed to match local standard electrical plug-ins.
A product similar to the one noted in my search result at applebits site, above should
be able to connect direct to the local power; or work with a most simple adapter.
Good luck & happy computing!
