[Test-Equipment] HP power cords

[Mike Manes]

Now THAT could make for a nasty oopsie :=(.

I've swapped out the old oval 3-pin mains inlets for CEE-22 (IEC)
connectors on several pieces of HP and Tek gear to allow use of
a growing collection of mathching cords from obsolete 'puters and
peripherals.  It does take some "body & fender" work, however.
