I think the plug you are talking about is the multi-pin socket that is in
the back of the 200 next to the power cord. That socket is meant to connect
to the EML300/301 auxilary piece and gives it AC.  The stock 300 and 301
models had no power supplies. There's some pictures of the 300 and 301 in
our photo archive at the group home page. As stock pieces they came with a
cable and connector that mated with that socket.

Bottom line, I can't help you with why the 200 is dead, but I doubt that the
socket has anything to do with it.

I hope you also realize that the 200 will make no sound until you start
patching.

Well actually you can run a regular guitar cord straight from the Master
Osc out or either of the 2 VCO's outs or even the noise out to an amp and
you'll get signal (careful!, keep the amp gain low!). The rest of the 200
doesn't wake up until you start interconnecting the various elements.

BTW, I think there is at least 1 EML 200 schematic in the files archive at
the EMLsynth Yahoo group home page.
