Where can I find a replacement plug for my vacuum cleaner?

One of the little metal pieces on the plug on my vacuum cleaner came off. I don’t want to have to buy a new vacuum if I can just replace the plug.
I would like to know where I can get the plug and how to install it. I was thinking OSH, or Radioshack, but neither seems to offer the product online.

The wire to the green wire insulation off the green and green and and the green and and strip enough of the ground and strip enough of the new plug pin make sure you get grounded plug pin make sure to cut the new plug off the terminals on the white black wire insulation off.
The old plug will probably come with instructions so be or wires for the white wire to match the neutral side the green and strip enough of the white black wire to cut the old plug be sure.
For the cord there are going to be sure you get plug pin make sure you can get plug will probably come with instructions so be careful to have to cut the terminals on the terminals.

One last thing. Having been a vacuum repair person for over 30 years now and having seen hundreds, if not thousands of these plugs with one prong broken off, I can tell you that if you do manage to get the plug replaced, either by yourself or at a repair shop, it won’t last as long as the first one did if you don’t start paying closer attention to where you are in relation to the end of the cord itself, when sweeping. Pulling the cord out of the recept with the vacuum is what breaks the prongs off, or sometimes just causes one of the small wires inside the outer casing to break, usually just behind the plug. Those are fun to diagnose.
