How to replace hardwired stock power cord ?


Hello!

I have an old - but exquisite Nakamichi MB10 CD Player.  I did come across a post - with very detailed instructions and pictures of modifications possible - someone having modified the unit - basically he changed the stock power to a detachable "IEC" connector - changed some capacitors etc ....

Regretfully I didn't bookmark it - and i cant find it now...have searched the net few time... :( bummer!

Would anyone know - how to go about cutting out the original hardwired cheap power cord and replace it with a good quality one ?

Have I posted this under right topic ? 

Any help - much appreciated....thanks

Even the most dirt cheap power cord will be a lot better than what’s on there now. That being said, its a 20 year old CD player. Worth nothing new, worth less than nothing now. Certainly if you have even $100 for a power cord you could get a lot more for your money just buying a better CD player. Or even $25. I mean there are probably better CD players on CraigsList listed under FREE STUFF and just sitting by the curb.

But the urge is just unstoppable and you can’t bring yourself to just solder a better power cord onto it (which is the way to go) then next best is what viridian said.

Oh, and what do you know:
