A choke is just a coil of wire, you can google for pictures of them.
AC/DC sets (I assume this is, can't find the schematic) weren't polarized, ie the blades on the cord are the same size. This is dangerous because one side of the power supply is attached directly to the chassis in most cases, so there's a 50% chance 120 volts will be on anything metal. Especially dangerous to repairmen. When replacing the cord, use one with a larger blade (which is neutral). Connect neutral to the ground side of the circuit, that will make it safer.
I hope this applies to your radio, again I didn't find the schematic with a quick search.
