Super Salton power cord

[dalangdon]

I found this crazy huge Salton warming tray at the Goodwill the other day and of course I had to have it, but it doesn't take a standard Salton cord, nor does it take the cord for a salton cart. Has anyone any experience in this area?

Dan, what does the receptacle for the cord look like on this one?  Please post a picture if you can.

Here’s the power cord base, with a Salton cart cord and a tabletop cart cord. As you can see, a the cart cord might work, but the enclosure is too small.

I may have something that would fit this.  I'm still on hiatus in Brazil, returning to Canada next week.  I should be down at the house in Ogden where my parts and supplies are all stored after April 27th, though...  I'll have a look for you when I get back.

Just for kicks and giggles, what is the wattage of that monster, please?

 

[dalangdon]

750 beautiful watts

Thanks, Paul. I'm in no rush. I'm not sure in what universe I would ever use this, but I'd never seen one like it, so there you go

So weird to see this post---was just yesterday at a neighborhood yard sale in Palm Springs and one seller had 3 of the bigger trays (albeit not as big as these) from various generations of Salton...

There are at least two correct cords on Ebay under Salton hot tray-page 2! Greg

Our department wound up with one of the Salton hostess carts. I don't know how. It was something only the higher end stores would sell. I asked if I could buy it but my manager was not in favor of the idea. One day we were moving stuff in the stock room and he let a big box fall on top of it and there were only glass, metal and wood shards left. It was sad.

I have one of those warmers - they really are table length. I'll look at the cord again, but I thought it was similar to a small appliance cord (like you'd use for a coffee pot).

That’s what it looks like to me also, Kevin, but I’ve tried a zillion of them (I seriously have a zillion of them) but the plug is always just a tad too big for the outlet.

Maybe you could sand down the outside so it will fit.

 

[dalangdon]

Tom, I'm flattered that you are assuming a competency on my part that is quite unrealistic ;-)

 

[dalangdon]

So I tried Tom's suggestion, and it worked! The Super Salton has power! 750 glorious watts of resistance heating

That's perfect for those outdoors indoors luxury barbecue buffets that our Hyacinth is so fond of.
