More from the thread:

What I did....Break out 4 pins from an old octal (8 pin) tube
base...Easy with a pair of pliers...Solder them on to a piece of lamp
cord...Most newer lamp cord is polarized if you look closely, this is
handy 'cause you'll need to respect gnd....The pins fit perfectly and
"snug" in the connector holes...Push it in right up to the
insulation...I've been using this set-up for years
