Want to Buy WTB: Graflex flash cable

[RLangham]

Does anyone want to sell a flash cable to go from a Graphex shutter's dipole connector to a Graflex bulb flash? I would prefer curly but any is fine.

Located in US, domestic seller preferred for shipping reasons.

Yes, but I found the one I need on Paramount as suggested by John.

For the benefit of ;others who may be interested, there are electric shaver cords that work fine.

I had heard this...

In my experience it is hard to get a standard household plug into the sockets on the flash. When I made an improvised solenoid cord for my Pacemaker SG, I used the cord off of a broken lamp and made the terminals on the other end from two small cutter pins. I won't bore you with the details of the construction, but I will say that I had to use a grinder to shave off some metal from both edges of the thicker blade of the lamp cord's plug to get it to go in to the solenoid port on the flash, or indeed any of the ports.
I myself don't have access to an electric shaver, being a traditional safety razor man myself, and I rather imagine that the vintage of shaver that takes that style of cord are rather difficult to find, and at the antique stores can fetch a price comparable to the price of ordering a purpose-made cord from Paramount.
