Hello Eugene:  John and Nick put you on the correct track.  Looking  
through my 1976 Hubbell catalog, you would need the Midget Twist-Lock  
plug for your exciter PS.  On the earlier SBE series, we used the  
plug without the ground contacting sleeve, and if changes were made  
after my departure from the TMC engineering department, this plug did  
not have this grounding sleeve (GR).  This plug is the Catalog number  
7464 and 7427 with the cord grip (both) but accommodating two  
different cord sizes.  If you can't get one at Dayton or Hubbell, I  
think I can dig one up for you.  Ciao, Tony, K3WX  BTW could have  
explained this to you on 3723 with your Westchester buddies!
