Finding a replacement power cord

[Ehcrain]

Got a old stand fan that was my grandfathers. It needs a new power cord but it currently has a removable one that ive never seen a similar version of. The fan runs perfectly but the cord is a fire hazard that needs to be replaced. Any help finding a replacement plug or whole cord would be greatly appreciated!

Something like this might work: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Old-Style-HP-Tektronix-IBM-AC-Power-Cord-for-Vintage-Test-Equipment-8FT-3-prong-/252979611909

That particular one seems very pricey, so some more searching might be helpful. Good luck.

How about just changing the bad end?

First the OP will have to find a replacement end, if one even exists.

Hewlett-Packard test equipment used that style power cord years ago.

Or replace the connector and use a PC style power cord.

People are offering another possible solution for the issue. There is more than 1 way to skin a cat . . .

However it's unlikely he'd want to cut up his grandfather's old fan to shoehorn the larger, modern IEC power plug.

Exactly. if there's a cord available that will plug directly into the fan without modifications, why do anything else.

I would make a nice adapter plate and use something like a wire clamp. The plug dosnt need to be removable on that.
