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.

Maybe one of these as shown on Brent's page here:

Belden 17952 or 17280, depending on polarization.
1:54 p.m.
Naturally right after sending the message, I think I found a picture of it.

Notice that they are out of stock on these, but this looks exactly
like what I need.

Those were the "standard" removable power cords before IEC

Sometimes you can replace the chassis inlet, but if you really want a
cordset, bottom of page:

Videx used to make them, but hasn't in some time. However, they're
still be sold as rara aves and command good prices:
http://www.sphere.bc.ca/test/hp1.html
(I'm sure there are other sellers--this just popped to the top of my
bookmarks)
But be careful--I understand that there exist varieties with the "hot"
and "neutral" sides of the line swapped.

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

Yep, looked there before, but they don't have a picture of this type
of HP cord.

Thanks to all who responded, I think I've tracked down a reasonably
priced source for some cords.

Hm, my Wurlitzer just has the power cord hardwired in. If I
were any good at woodworking, I would have replaced it with
an IEC receptacle long ago.

Korg and Celestron stuff took these, so searches such as "Korg power
cord" may turn up other sellers than the one I linked to.
I have an old Four-Phase monitor that takes this cord as well.
