Roger, can you show proof that your PT3000 has neutral ties to ground?  All a 
PT 3000 is, is a PT2500 with an8877 and it’s not an issue in that amp.  Please 
show.

Afraid this is an additional question rather than an answer...

This thread has induced me to do what I have been meaning to do for ages. I 
have an old PT3000 (yes, that is the correct number) amp which has ground and 
neutral tied together internally as well as a few 120V components. So a four 
wire connection seems to be the safest solution. 

Plug and receptacle easy - 20A twistlock. (Don't think 15A is available.)

Cable not so easy. All I can easily get here is SOOW which in 12/4 is about the 
thickness of an elephant's trunk. I can order SJOOW which is better but still 
pretty thick. Both those cables are intended for industrial use. I can't find 
any consumer type indoor cable. Does such an animal exist?
