When visiting my great aunt, she asked me if I could help here clean out some old electronics. I said sure, obviously. Included in the pile was a Sansui 8 in beautiful condition. A single chip in the wooden case, and one of the button labels missing. My goal is to get it up to snuff again. It is spotless inside as well, but I can't get it turned on. Even though my aunt had kept the original manual, service manual, and purchase receipt, the power cable was nowhere to be found.
Tried doing a search and didn't come up with much. Does anyone have suggestions regarding where I might find a two prong power cord with the right spacing for a Sansui Eight. I recall reading that some people had cut up a different 2 prong cord to make it fit, but that seems extra sketchy, and I don't want to cut up the back to put a standard plug in, since it's so original, unless you guys tell me that it wouldn't be sacrilege.
I'll post some picture of the exterior and interior later to make this a more general restore thread when I get a few spare minutes.
