Hello Ron,
My tip is to use a new socket and plug. You won't find your plug just like that. You now have to find out which 2 contacts you really need from the 3.
Here my socket and plug. Greets and a good time for you. Hope it helps ;)

Hallo Andreas, thx for sending a response. I have a photography enlarger w a 12 volt halogen lamp will the socket and plug you suggest work for the 12 volt lamp. The cord goes into power supply which is 220 outlet. Can I simply attach plug to cord (enlarging head/lamp), and attach socket to power supply. These need to be soldered to wires, as you can tell I'm no electrician, but can handle simple soldering.
Hello fbguff,
you can solder the connector to the 12 V end of the power supply. You have to find the 2 correct wires for the connector. Your old plug has 3 contacts. Is the old plug used for the 230 V or 12 V side? When its used for the 12 V side you can change the plug. When not you need a Traveladapter.
Then you can install the socket in the device. Here you also have to pay attention to the correct polarity. Here is a simple soldering set. Everything you need is included here.
Hope it help you a bit. Big greets and a great day.
