I recently picked this up from shopgoodwill and it has an older power
plug. It is NOT a standard plug as shown in the picture below that is too
tall and pins are smaller etc..
Anyone know the name of this 'standard' so I can find a cable? Or possibly
have one around I can get from you?

Yup, that's the old Belden 17952 or 17281 (depending on polarity) cord.
Still available if you look hard enough. Used to be very common on
office equipment of the late 1960 and early 70s as well as HP test
equipment.

From the looks of your unit, it might just be simpler
to fit it with a
standard IEC receptacle. Note that the cutout is already
rectangular,
so an IEC may just fit without any case modification.

The screw holes have a slightly different spacing between the two types, they have to be

If there's nothing interfering on the inside it does look like an easy candidate for
replacement with IEC.

Thank you all for the information I found a power cord on ebay! I really
appreciate it!
