Where can I obtain a cord to go from the Graflite battery case to a Kalart Focusspot?

Midwest Photo and/or Pacific Rim often have them.

Hi,
I was able to use a spare STRAIGHT (non-coil)10-inch Heiland cord with Household plug to female bipost plugs (the same end that is usually used to attach to the front shutter posts). Install 3 "D" cells into the battery case; the female bipost end slips snugly over the focusspot posts. The household plug i attach to the "battery" outlet on the front of the battery case. Then by turning the chrome wheel on the focusspot, you should get it to work. If not the contacts may need cleaning or the bulb might need to be replaced. I have not had to replace my bulb, but it looks like it might be one that can be easily located at a Radio Shack.
I hope this helps.

Check the junk drawer of your nearest eletric shaver repair shop. I've been told that certain shavers have the same or close enough dimentions to work.
