In Reply to: RE: revitalizing old line cords... posted by gkargreen on January 02, 2015 at 16:14:32
Replace them with new cord. It's available in home supply stores. Really a better and safer way to do them. That old insulation is dried and cracked, why take a chance.
Not to be rude, just looking out for your welfare.

I know some collectors want to keep a unit 100% stock however if it is to be used safely replacing the power cord is wise.
however most of these line cords have a plasticizer that is drying out, replacing that plasticizer can revitalize the cords and make them just as flexible as new, or so I have been told...
but he definitely should replace the cords because the wires oxidize inside the insertion and turn green when they crack.

Replace the old cracked and unsafe cable with a new three conductor cable and ground the green lead to the chassis. The unit will be safe and quiet.
