These are getting scarce, long delivery times, and outrageously expensive.
Possible part numbers are Belden or Volex 17280.
Might want a bunch of them if the price is right.
An adapter to IEC might also be interesting.

If the unit this goes to is also obsolete, why not just replace the panel mount side with a standard power inlet.
Its not like it will lose value.

These were typical of early HP test equipment. I bought several from Mouser a few years ago. I'm now sorry I did not buy more.
You can't always easily replace the panel-mount part with a more up-to-date part in the equipment. BTDT.

Volex says none available.
The dilemma is that the final eBay resale price would be too low to justify the time. And the standard inlets are also somewhat pricey.
Modern inlets are also considerably deeper.
I pull them from dead PC power supplies.
Bang a hole in the side and run a line cord through it with a Heyco bushing.

Yea, age old problem.
Do you just sit on it or modify it and get it off the books.

A dozen at $4 each or a hundred at 40 cents each.
Try this
I just bought five of them for $50 from Area 51, who found a cross-reference from the discontinued Belden/Volex 17952-8-B1 to the Orion model 28131-76-01.
Note that the old HP ones have hot and neutral reversed from the more modern style--beware. The cords are supposed to get here on Monday.

It's important to note that there are two types of these. One has the hot and neutral swapped. I don't recall which one is used on old HP gear, but I do know the correct part number is Volex 17952 which they discontinued a year or two ago.

Hey, I like the NEMA 5-15 receptical! At least I can punch out a round hole.
I've never been able to find a good way to punch out a chassis for the "C14 chassis inlet".

HP used the reversed connections.

Use a nibbler.

I'm guessing you are using the ovals for RF gear. That is the only stuff I own where an instrument that old is worth keeping.
