HP Signal Generator Cord Set

[Al Clark]

I have an old HP 651A Osciilator that uses a different power cord than the
standard IEC type. I think it is an SVT type like some of the Volex Cords
available at Mouser.

Does anyone know which cable I should buy?

I usually replace these HP connectors with an IEC panel mount socket.
Usually there is enough metal to let you nibble out the bigger hole needed.
Makes all my gear standard.

Good Idea !! The old round pin type power cords were notorious for the
ground pin loosing contact. The chassis floated to 60 Vac above ground.
Got "tickled" a few times over that failure. We would "pinch" the ground
pin on the cord (instrument end) and that would fix the problem. The cord
would then push into place tightly and keep a secure ground. Take Care,
Kevin
