I am looking for some vintage AC power cords for older HP test equipment.
I have a number of pieces of test equipment, and only one power cord. The
only marking on it is "Electricord". It is a three conductor cord that
uses three round female sockets on the end that terminates at the
equipment, and is similar to the old power cords that were found on coffee
pots and such (but with one more pin in the center offset from the other
two - a ground, I suppose). I believe it is typical of HP equipment made
in the 1960's to have these, such as the HP745A AC calibrator, among
others. Does anyone know where I might find some of these, or perhaps know
what the original HP part # is? (I know that I could hard-wire a standard
line cord to these units, but would much rather have the proper cords.)

Thanks!

If they are the same ones used on old electromechanical Victor and Burroughs
adding machines, I have those in stock. Send e-mail to

Be aware that there are two different pinouts on these cables.

Good morning.
On these, when looking at the hole end with the center hole towards the top,
left hole is hot (black wire), center hole is grounding (green wire), and
the right hole is grounded or neutral (white wire).

Thanks,

Hello Lee,

Jeez, I don't know. Do they look like this?:

Also, is the center conductor ground, or can it be re-wired if not? (Not
molded)

How many do you have and how much are you asking for them?

Thanks!
