MTH Z-1000 Question

"(leaves some silver showing)" This is normal for the MTH transformer/controller connection. The center of plug is the positive side. It remains totally covered.

Right on Pappy, I have a few Z500's and Z 750's as well as a Z1000 and they all have this peculiarity. No problem though, they all work great and have been for years.

Don't worry about it.

hello guys and gals.........

mine Z1000 is the same way, plug doesn't go all the way in and i had it for year now no problems. As gg1man says...." dont worry about it"

Wonder why this obvious design flaw has not been corrected by now? 

Most such plugs on other electronic devices I own have plugs that fit snugly ALL the way into the female socket! 

As confirmed above, my TWO Z-1000's have worked fine for years with the barrel of the plug sticking out.

NO MTH "bashing", just wondering.

I have years of service using my two Z1Ks and no problems. Excellent transformers. Correct the barrel plug doesn't totally go in but that is normal. Many moons ago I had at least one Z750 and it was the exact same way. One Z1K is 9 years old and the other is about 6 or so years old. Both are running strong still. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a good, cheap, transformer. 

Situation normal....

All things considered, it would seem like a relatively SIMPLE thing to correct!
