[GreenKeys] Power Cord for early model Dovetron MPC-1000R

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Steve,

Someone on the list recently said that the Dovetron Tempest model used a 
standard MIL-C-5015 connector (in continuous production since about 1942).  
I've never seen a Dovetron of any flavor but I think the connector you are 
referring to is not actually oval but rectangular with the short sides of the 
rectangle cut back to a semi-cylinder.  HP, FW Bell, and others once used 
them on all of their test equipment.  I don't have any extras but Ace 
Electronics here in Houston had a stash last year when I needed one for a Bell 
Gaussmeter.  They aren't actually listed at www.ACE4PARTS.com but send an email to 
Craig at sales at ace4parts.com and ask whether he still has some left.  Ref 
my name if you wish.  I've been a steady commercial customer for almost 40 
years.
