Does anybody have a source for the detatchable cords that were used on the AC/DC radios. I recently aquired about a dozen radios from my fathers collection. Most of the cords are broken or ready to break at the radio.

Mark, by "detachable power cords," are you talking about the power cords that are interlocked with the radio's back so that when the back is removed, the power is disconnected? If so, would a TV cheater cord work?

Yes that is what I am looking for. Back in the 70's tons were available. I guess I should have stocked up.
I realize that I could just solder in a new one but I don't want to.

Thank you very much for the help.

Also, sometimes various mixer and electric knive cords work. You can buy replacements from various repair shops and from the original companies. I can't remember where, but there's a more obvious place to get these cords.

Also, Norelco (and other brands) electric shaver cords work.

Thank for the info Thomas.
