OK, I've got an HP X-Y display with
the older power cord connector,
where the three pins are round instead of two being blades
and the
only the ground pin being round.? The entire plug
socket is also
rounded instead of angled.
I've tried to find a relevant picture on the interwebs, but
you try
googling "power coord connector" sometime and see if you can
find the
older oddball you're looking for...
Hopefully my description alone is enough to aid someone in
identifying
the exact standard/specification for this kind of
connector.
I'm looking for cords that fit the connector.? I will
try to remember
to take a picture with my phone on Wednesday when I am down
at the
museum, if we can't figure it out by then.

If you search ebay for 'oval power cord' you will find many for sale.
Never cheap though.
