Keith, I've got my own decades long collection, so I'll have to pass on 
your offer. Also, attending PLUG meetings is plenty of river crossings 
for me.

Out of curiosity, and here in the USA, are you referring to C13 to NEMA 
power cords?

C13
3 prong socket for computers, printers, TVs and a wide variety of other 
household electronics

NEMA 5-15P
Three prong 125V 15A plug for standard grounded household receptacles.
