Where is a good online site for both polarized and non-polarized power cords?

Thanks,

Mike

Mike, I may not understand your question properly. If you are looking for power cords with plugs attached (rubber) I just buy a cheap extension cord and cut off the female end. Most if not all of those will have a polarized plug on one end and should be fine for any house wall socket you have. The only problem I have noted is that typically they come with a little heavier, thicker wire that most radios had originally. Otherwise, I always cut the wire off anything we are scrapping that has a nice molded in plug and save them. Problem is that they are typically black or white. Old lamp cords work really well.

Thanks guys for the wealth of info. There was someone who sold the vintage style rubber power cords both polarized and non-polarized that I bought before but don't have it in my "Favorites" for some reason now and I can't think of his website. Thanks.

Mike

Mike, might have been me? I now have darker brown 8 foot cords, same price as the 6' lighter color ones, but the jacket is a little lighter gauge.
