The plugs are the standard roundies and many have neat designs on them...

Make sure it is not a Resistence line cord...
If there are 3 wires running into the chassis then it is a RLC and needs special hookup.

I use cloth on any radio that originally had it but late 20's -mid 30's seems to be the time frame that many of my radios had cloth covered power cords...
