need power cord for teac deck

I've just acquired a TEAC 4010, but it is missing the power cord. It is not
a kind typically used today. This receptacle on the back of the unit for
this one is rectangular, 2 knife-blade non-polarized. Is there a name for
this kind of power cord? I have not found one at the electronic parts
outlet. What should I be looking for?

Maybe I'd would have more success by opening the unit and attaching a power
cord?

Don't know what the name is, but it will mate with a plain two prong
standard edison-type power cord if the female end is small enough. Look
for a really really cheap non-grounded extension cord. We used to use
that at our college radio station back in the day.

Installing your own power cord is also a viable option. If you want to
get fancy, install an IEC connector.

Or he might check out:

There are a couple of places that list these.

Jeez, $24.99 plus S/H for a six foot extension cord?
Did I stumble into the audiophile group by mistake?

It's just an extension cord, albeit one with a small female end. Go to
the hardware store and pick one up for five bucks or less.

Stuart Krivis...

I didn't say they were cheap. I just pointed out a couple of places
that claim to carry the proper cords. :-)

Radio Shack has a pretty extensive collection of power cords, including the
more exotic types. You might have to order from the catalog, but you'd be
surprised at what is in some of their bigger stores.

But grounding may cause problems, but it can be tried.
