The wierd thing are that Cliff made two version, one named Europe
who accepted the Europe plug, the one i earlier mentioned, and one
jack named japanese who took any other plug, even rounded.

I have a old datasheet over both so aparently Cliff manufactured
two versions but promoted only the one that they wanted to sell
their own manufactured plugs to , they tought they where clever!....No.

yes and the one's i have have deeper dent in the middle.

I remeber Doepfer said something about he in turn had to wait
for analog systems and it was actually they who had found out
of this problem as manufacturer.
