Solved! Power Cord Replacement

[zutozman]

I have a Sharp SM-SX1 1 bit amplifier but have lost the power cord and need a replacement. I'm not well versed in electronics but have determined the power cord I need is a Nema 5-15 male plug to a C-13 female connector.

The specs in the manual say the power source is 120V, 60HZ with a power consumption o f 51W.

I'm confused on the wire gauge, voltage and amperage I need for the power cable. What do I buy?

Thanks for your help.

Looks like a standard PC style power cable will work.

Should be able to find locally or via Amazon:

Thank you. I appreciate your help.

I noticed on the inside of the AC input on the amp, it says 10A/250V and 15A/125V. For my own education, how do/did you determine the wire gauge, amp and voltage required for the power cord of the Sharp SM-SX1 amp?

Just that it is a standard device when it comes down to it. No other analysis was applied (I don't believe it necessary).
