Power cord specifications for 52-T1612
#2

Hi WinkyDink (I remember that cartoon from my relative youth, I was about 12 or 13 when it became popular in NY)

Apologies, I don't have the exact spec for the power cord for 1952 model year Philcos, but I suspect that it was a rather standard card used with most TVs from the 1950s. The cord I am thinking of had 2 mounting "ears" on each side of the "female" end that went into the TV. The cord was usually mounted by these ears to either the back cover of the set or to the high voltage cage. Later (1960s /s 1970s models had a clip that held these in place.

Amazingly, I not only could not find any of these cords for sale, I could not even find a picture of one.

Best I can recommend is to measure the OD (outside diameter) and spacing of the pins and find as close a match as possible among the new cords for "brick" computer power supplies, boom boxes, etc.
