    3 prong cords for dryers and stoves are not up to electrical code anymore here, I take brass out of plug and strip the wire.

    Same here, I couldn't even find one at the hardware store a couple months ago, every one has to convert to 4 prong

    Then they should be in big demand if you couldn't find one either, advertise that rascal.

    The problem with them (I can only .speak for my area) is that they don't meet some fire/safety code... For example my apartment complex sent a a guy around when I moved to check and make sure I converted my dryer to the newer 4 prong style..not saying that's the case in all areas,
    And I would have to agree that with the trouble I had finding one there is probably a market out there for them.
