I need to replace my power cord for the scanner and as yet have not been able to find a source. Any one have a suggestion or an old power cord they wish to unload?

My Coolscan 4 uses the standard trapezoidal power cord that is common with many electronic devices.  Does the 5 use something else?  If not, you probably have a bunch of them around, most computers, monitors and many other devices use exactly the same thing:

This article shows that it does use the cord as described by E.J.:

They can be found easily.

The point is that they are very easy to replace. $5.79 at Walmart:

Try looking for it at www.cyberguys.com
They have all kinds of interesting things including Liberator cords and plugs.
