Hey Craig,
We _used_ to be neighbors! In my 'pre'-ham days I
used to live in Georgian Woods Apartments, and I lived
in Powder Mill Village Apartments when I became a ham.
This radio is far from original condition, so the
power cord swap is of little concern to me.
The next question I have is would a 3c/18awg cord be
heavy enough for a S-85 or should I find a cord with
say 3c/16awg or 3c/14awg in it?
BTW - I was in GMRA, LARC, GARC, and PG ARES/RACES
while I lived in that area.

For the sake of safety, I would definitely replace
the old line cord with a three-wire cord. If you
sell the radio someday, advertise it an an
"upgrade",
not a "modification". If the buyer is a so-called
collector who is willing to pay more for a radio in
original condition, charge an extra $100 and send
the
old cracked, frayed, dangerous line cord with the
radio so he can reinstall it. :-)
