Jerry,
Thanks for your response. Note however, my sockets are Marinco, but the plugs are what came with the 'appliance', mostly small amp stuff such as cell phone, charger for portable vhf, laptop, etc. and none are making reliable contact. Same in all three Marinco sockets I have. It's basically the spring loaded male pins in the plugs that seem to lose contact.
I've received several responses on the SSCA board, most the same as yours but a few adapting small 120 plug/outlets
or electronic stuff http://www.andersonpower.com/
Replacing all sockets and plugs is a lot of work, so what I'm trying first is sort of what you're indicating and putting a Marinco plug on one of the adapters I use most and see how it goes. I understand the Marinco male/females have a locking mechanism that may help. I'll keep you posted.
