Hi Steve;
Believe it or not, I got them from RADIOSHACK.
The only thing is that the plug that goes in to the receptacle is only two
prong and I would rather have a three prong plug.
I expect to be going to Timonium at the end of the month and, I'm sure I'll
find what I need there.
Thank you for your help.
