Hey guys, this whole AC cord thing has been a bit frustrating for me.  I must have OCD, as I want it to look as original as possible.  I used to get a replica cord from Howard Granoff in Silver Springs, MD.  It is much thicker than any that is available now and is appropriate for some of the late 1920's and early 1930's sets.  I would give my left arm (figuratively) to be able to find more of it.  The wire I purchased from AES in the past was satisfactory for early to mid 1930's sets.  I recently purchased a roll from Sundial and was very disappointed in it as it was merely zip cord covered by a weave.  From the mid 1930's manufacturers started using rubber insulated line cord.  That is still available from Belden (#19115) and I buy it from a local distributor by the 250' roll.  I will  try to attach a photo of what I am talking about.  But thanks so much for the lead to Grand Brass, I will check them out.
Regards, Dennis

There's something about the feel of a rubber line cord. It nice and flexible almost has a little bit of a bounce to it. The plastic stuff always feel stiff.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got it!
