Dave, as an old TV repairman I have an assortment of these cheeters, polarized and non-polarized.  I also have a collection of CRT boosters, color and B&W.  Will bring some to the meeting next week.

I am in need of a "cheater" cord. For those of you NOT of a certain age,
these are the line cords that are used to bypass the safety interlock
found on many fifties and sixties vintage radios and televisions. The
factory line cord was fastened, usually to the back cover of the set,
with rivets or a flange so that when the back was removed the power was
automatically disconnected. A cheater cord had the same type of socket on
the end as the stock cord, so it would fit into the plug on the back of
the set and power it during servicing. They were two-wire cords with a
rectangular connector sporting two round connectors about a half-inch
apart. Photo: http://tinyurl.com/625jo2
