Just wondering if the original power cords can be restored or if anyone even does that? I realize the older cords are not anywhere near as safe as the newer versions but a properly "restored" one would look so much more appropriate with AC powered vintage electronics. I just bought this clock off eBay and the cord needs work or replacement. What do most people do in this instance? I'm relatively new to the Phorum and searched the threads but couldn't come up with anything. If there is info on this topic, a link would be greatly appreciated! Thanks much!

Craig R.
