If you can see pictures of the top and underside of the unit,there is no problem buying vintage gear with clipped cords.
A big thing Asian buyers would do back in the 80s,90s,and even today,they would go to the Dayton hamfest and buy Mac and Marantz tube gear and the first thing they would do is cut cord off.The reason they did was,when they sent it back to Japan or HongKong,they would say it was a broken unit for parts or service and that would lower the tax or duties on the unit by a lot.I found this out later from a vintage Mac dealer who also sold new Mac gear.
