Ahh Sherod,
You are a breath of fresh air. You are right on the money regarding "over-saturated" market for AC Conditioners. And I agree why distract Joseph from coming out with the improvements that will benefit all AH owners more. The power cord does it all anyway and it can be further tweeked.
I removed the solder and cleaned both ends then used "bare" crimping on the plugs for a clean connection.
Power cord hunting ended that day.
