Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Sure, it's easy

Get about 5 or 6 feet of Chris VH's cryo'ed AC wire. The two conductor unshielded works fine ($3.50/ft). Maybe some tech flex to cover it up and then a decent AC plug like a Wattgate 5526i ($13). You've got a nice upgrade for around $30 to $40. Simply pull the top of the chassis off and find where the regular AC cord enters the case and where it is first soldered down (probably the tranny). You'll need to remove the original cord and replace it with the DIY cable you got. I use a tie wrap inside the case just as it enters to secure it with a little strain relief. Pretty easy project for getting your feet wet. You'll need a soldering iron, wire strippers, wire cutters and patience. Don't let the naysayers stop you from having some fun. FWIW, I've done similar mods and liked the results.
