Don't knock the Tap-A-Line! An uncle of a good friend started the firm in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They later relocated to Pompano Beach, Fl.
I don't know of any TV repair shop, that didn't have one or more. They were made in several different lengths from 6" to 3'.
They were made of an extruded plastic materal and had two copper strips to contact the plug prongs. See the illustration!
Naturally,they weren't U/L listed, as they could be easily overloaded and were not polarized.
