Not sure what you mean by round third plug. The wider
blade is neutral, not ground. The round blade is ground
73 de W3NU.

On the last AC-4 that I upgraded I bought an extension cord with
molded three pronged male end about 10 feet long and #12 wire. Then I
cut off the female end and carefully tested each wire to see which was
the ground (Round third plug); The wider blade is the ground and the
narrower blade is the "hot"wire.
I put the main ground to the chassis by a bolt through one of the old
Can Capacitor slots.
The length of the cord should be to suit your situation to avoid
extension cords!
Good luck with it,

My power cord from power supply to radio is a little poor looking
at the strain relief, and is more than likely a little brittle.
Should I try just cutting it off or replacing it? If I was to
replace it any recommendations on where to get this type of cord?
Thanks
