Sota Sapphire iii power supply cable needed
It's been awhile, but I recall that the power cable was captive, (attached) and came from the table. It then plugged into the power supply. You might check inside/underneath the table to see if the cable was put in there for storage.

Toslink or 110 ohm aes/ebu?

Best sound in old late 70s early 80s receivers
