In fact, if it fits in the recepticle, they are better than the original power cord. Note that the holes come out the end of the cord.Īlthough you can no longer buy a heavy duty extension cord that has only two holes (all heavy appliance or air-conditioner extension cords these days are the three-hole variety) the three-hole (with earth ground) variety usually works just fine with the Aeolian players. Last is a picture of a heavy appliance or air-conditioner extension cord. Note that the holes are on the side of the plug. Next is a picture of a standard extension cord. Note that the prongs of the plug stick straight out. First is a picture of the back of a modern Aeolian player piano. So, instead of trying to explain the difference between the basic types of extension cords, I'll just post a few pictures. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. That's because the 'female end', which gets plugged into the back of the piano, is facing the wrong direction. Unfortunately, the makers of extension cords changed the basic design of an extension cord many years ago, and todays standard extension cord will not work with the Aeolian players. Basically speaking, it's just a simple extension cord. These pianos were made from the mid-60's through the mid-80's, and the power cord is the same in all cases. Since I have received a number of emails regarding missing or damaged electric power cords for the complete line of modern Aeolian player pianos, I decided to make up a web page about solving the problem.
