All of these flash sync cable connector types were confusing me. I bought an Anniversary Speed Graphic with a Heiland 3 cell flash and a Heiland solenoid (with the two male prongs sticking out of it), but no cable to attach the two. I checked Paramount Cords, but the closest cable they had listed wasn't specifically for a Heiland Flash. It just said "Graflex bipost" and didn't give the dimensions. I couldn't find any info if they were interchangeable or not. I read that you could use a power cable from an old electric razor, but that didn't fit either. It was close, but wasn't quite big enough to fit over the posts on the solenoid.
But I discovered a solution! I took that electric razor power cable (really any non polarized, 2 conductor, non grounded house hold power cable will do), and cut the other end off (not the HH plug) and installed a 2 pin female molex type (actually Tyco Amp type) connector from Radio Shack (Catalog #: 2740154). I cut the clips on the edges off because they'd just get in the way. Anyway, the female pins are the exact right size to hold the posts snug without falling off, or being too difficult to push on, and the spacing between them is perfect. It makes it easy to install and uninstall the cable. I spent about $3 for both the power cable and connector, so even if the Paramount Cord version did work, I still about saved 90%. Plus, it didn't even need any soldering (though I soldered it anyway), so you could assemble this with just a knife (or wire stripper) and pliers (or wire crimper).
Here's a picture of the connector, which might be handy in the future since Radio Shacks are getting harder and harder to find.
