Vintage HP power cords needed.

I've done something similar but filled in the space with hot glue to mold a connector. If you wax or otherwise lubricate the socket, the hot glue won't stick to it and you can use the socket itself to mold the shape of the plug.

A better option may be to retrofit the equipment with standard IEC power sockets which can be salvaged from junk computer equipment.

if you can remember that much here in such detail? It shows signs of CPU addiction.

Me, I can't afford to use any brain matter wastefully! :)

Well, all it takes is an archive of the newsgroup* since it got created and a vague memory of something. And then you "grep for it". It takes a while though, (Google can be faster).
