<div dir="ltr">Pretty much every OTS power cord is the awful plastic stuff. I had better luck with the raw 3 wire 18ga stranded cable sold on spools at Lowes or Home Depot (in the US), and assemble power cords from the spool. Plus raw cable is cheaper than OTS cords.<div><br></div><div>MC</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Jul 21, 2026 at 2:37 PM John Speth via Synth-diy <<a href="mailto:synth-diy@synth-diy.org">synth-diy@synth-diy.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">My 1983 Prophet-5 is in great need of a new power cord. I'd like to <br>
replace it with a new cord that is just as nice. The characteristics I <br>
need are 3 conductor, black, 1/4 inch OD, a rubber (or rubber-like) <br>
cover, flexible, won't remember bends. I suspect I'll have trouble <br>
finding the rubber/flex features. Finding material specs, etc are <br>
impossible to locate. Can anyone recommend a source that might fit my needs?<br>
