I made my own. Not difficult. You can buy octal plugs in the form of valve bases on Ebay. Some nice thick flexible cable, heatshrink and hot-melt glue and you have a nice rugged extension cable.

I made some CRT extensions too. And an EHT extension lead using a small clip-on lid plastic food container, a cable and ultor cap from a dead tripler, a metal washer, a plastic drink bottle cap and hot-melt. Open the lid, clip the chassis' EHT cable into the washer, close the lid. No more sizzling EHT lash-ups.
