F W Bell (gaussmeters) also used them.  I bought one line cord from Ace 
Electronics (local emporium) early this year.    If you have no luck finding 
any, I think that Craig said he had several left.  www.ace4parts.com is their 
URL although I don't know that the cords are listed.  They have so much junk 
er uh valuable parts and equipment.
