I would actually NOT buy their cordsets as some of them use aluminum wire (ick) and the plugs are permanently molded on. I do get them for my cheap repro lamps though, seems fitting. Their plugs are high quality and they have the cheapest wire I can find. We've been using them for a VERY long time as a parts supplier for our antique restoration shop in Philly. One bit of advice... ALWAYS go for the quantity discount when it's feasible. Not only do you actually save a LOT, but you also make the shipping more reasonable. Example - 7 of these plugs will cost $24.50. Buy 3 more (10) and it will only cost you $1.40 more. http://www.grandbrass.com/ShowItem.cfm? ... tegory=All

That's a nice web site with a lot of interesting things. But, I could not find a "add to cart" button or "check out" button, or anyplace to list name, address, and credit card number. Also could not find an ordering phone number or contact information. Wow! It consists of OLEIC ACID mixed with standard Coleman Fuel. Can you smoke next to that stuff? LOL

Bill Turner has been a supplier of hard-to-find parts for a long time. For the past few years he has had increasing health problems so has given up email. As noted on his site, the best way to order from him is to print out what you want, enclose a check or money order, and mail it to him.

I forgot to mention, my cords with molded polarized plugs arrived last week from Grand Brass and I'm very pleased with the price & quality. The cords are made from copper and the ends are tinned.
Just for grins, I called a local lamp repair shop named "Lamp Lighter" to get a price check on the same item. A very nice Chinese lady answered and said they didn't have 6 foot but had 8 foot and the price is $1.59 per foot ... "and we cut to any size you want".
It reminds me of that cartoon where the guy is laying in recovery. The surgeon comes in and says "the operation was a success but your wallet didn't make it".
