As several list members have told me, AES has the 2-wire round pin
TV style "cheater cords" for sale for $1.50 each. These are used on
many Heathkit units like the SB-301, SB-401, and Hallicrafters units
like the S-38, etc.

If you unit has a transformer, it's always better to go to a 3 wire cord,

however if you want to stay original or have a transformerless unit,
you have to use the "cheater cord" ....preferably with an isolation
transformer..

My point : I want to order a couple of these cords from AES but there is
a $2.50 handling charge and $3.50-$3.95 ? postage. Is there any interst
in me ordering a qty and sending them out in the US for a fixed rate to
recover my costs ....say $4.00 each TOTAL.  This is vs $7.50? if you
order a single cord from AES.
