hp power cord

[ee_design]

Does anyone know where I can find one of the 3 wire power cords common
to older vintage hp test equipment like the 330 distortion analyzer? It
is similar to the old tv cheater cord but 3 wire instead of 2. It does
not have the "mouse ear" pattern used on more recent stuff.

Perhaps you're talking about a power cord like this:

Mike -

Yup - I saw that - BUT "round" and "oval" are 2 different cable styles. The
Mouser catalog shows many NEMA and non-NEMA (proprietary/common at time)
plug sets. I did not see a specific reference to which one in Mouser - was
being referred to.

Of course -- I will have to find the surplus store that had hundreds of
them in bright safety yellow!!!

Mouser has both versions in stock. If you look at the manufacturers
data sheet you can see which version you need. I haven't seen any for
sale around here for over 10 years. I have some on some old computer
terminals, but I think they are the wrong wiring
