old Mac cord?

I feel your pain and wish I could help. Mine gave out 1 day before the 3-year extended warranty ended, on a Sunday. I was able to call the apple store and get them to send me a new one free, but I had to return the old one to them.
You might try CW computer out west. Otherwise it's $80 + from apple. Ridiculous.

try ebay. You can get an offbrand one for less than $25.

I laugh at your definition of old. I have nothing that new..

I got one thanks to the able & kind Ironic1. Kokigami: the last time I had my computer serviced they called it a relic. You're right; it's only as old as it feels. 

Thanks PDD world!

I think I have one.  I'll check back later.

lojasmo - one was generously donated, thank you kindly.
