    Confusing power plug

    Just bought a Chinese 40.W laser engraved for use on 120. Volts AC US. The input power is just a
    Standard US receptacle. The two plugs for the exhaust fan and the water pump are weird. Is there some adapter I can get to make it work with a standard US three prong plug? Here is the unit with a picture of the 2 plugs.
    All the adapters for European to US expect 220 VAC and convert that to 120 VAC. I need and adapter for 120 VAC to 120 VAC.

    They look like universal sockets that include the N.A. style 15a socket/plug.
    I suggest you clarify by contacting the supplier, they boast of good support.
    The alternative is to replace the sockets themselves.

    Well I started playing around with it and discovered that a standard USA 2 prong and a grounded 3 prong plug does indeed fit in these "Universal Sockets". It was just the unusual look that I had never before seen that gave me pause. All is well.
