How to identify orphaned power cords?
We are doing a massive purge of "stuff" from home and storage. I am accumulating a large quantity of random, unmarked power cords. Some will have "Nintendo" or "Norelco" on them - so I know to go confer with my boys about their gaming stuff or check my husbands grooming items, etc.
But what I am confounded by is several totally generic type cords - with a specifically shaped female pin end and standard oriented plug end(one prong larger than the other). There are numbers imprinted on both ends as well as printed in white ink along the wire. Lots of numbers. I attempted a google search but the results were equally random. "AC power cord for some electronic device."
How can I determine what each cord is for? I don't want to store them all "in case" - but I also don't want to throw them out only to discover they were needed for something we still use (or want to sell, give away, donate).
