Detachable Ground Pin

in Technical/Setup
Recently got my P1000 Power Plant back from PS Audio.
I'm going to list it for sale with a PS Audio Power Cord except, I found that I have misplaced the ground pin for my cable.

Phase Linear amp has two prong plugs and was using the Extreme Statement for the power cord. The awesome thing about these cables... one can remove the ground pin for older electronic gear.

If it ain't permanently attached I'll find a way to misplace it.
I have searched everywhere and can not get a lead if these pins are available to buy somewhere.

Any help or leads?

    May be a dumb question, have you contacted PS audio?

    Yes, that was my first contact, they said it’s a discontinued item and have no parts for them.

    If there was a way to tell who manufactured it for them maybe there’s a chance?

    Well there can't be more than one size to a ground pin, lets be realistic here. You cannot go larger or smaller and still fit the receptacles.

    Agree, try and find one!

    Maybe it was a one off and only done by PS Audio?

    From some of the sites I visited sounds like they did the detachable ground pin on most all their power cables?

    Other companies have the same removable pin, Pangea comes to mind right off the bat.

    I looked at Pangea and did not see a removable ground pin but, only looked at their newer offerings.
    I heard the same thing, maybe their older cables?

    I’ll give them a contact…

    Thank you.

    They still have the pangea cords with the removable ground pin at audio advisor and upscale audio. I'm not sure you could just order the ground pin though.
    I wonder if the threads would be the same as the PS audio ground pin
