Got to agree with Paul on this. Going to extremes to find these old type connectors doesn't make much sense. Paul points out a good source and if you hit your local electrical supply house, with either your original male ot female plug/connector in hand, they probably would have a very close replacement. A little hole reaming, if necessary, shouldn't be that big of a deal. I believe I remember seeing a small selection of these types of twist-lock connector/plug in either Home Depot or Lowe's.
