Wayne -
That will work I did not read the whole post Mine was 3 prong  went to 
HP8601 sweep generator early model.
a few years later switched to the new "standard" .  I sold the older 
model  wroked just fine  I had 3 of these sweepers won bids off of the 
gov surplus site.
Had one aligned,  was told that  they had to do nothing, no tweaking 
required.  I was happy and surprised.   I still have 2 hp8601A sweepers

Look by golly :
