Thanks, the soldering iron is warming up as I reply!

Dave,
18 gauge is fine for the small current requirements
of the S-85.

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. :-)
