Steve, I would not cut that power cord off just yet. I have a feeling this radio may have been restored, at least to some extent. Its a fairly recently installed cord from the looks of it and I doubt anyone would go to the trouble of replacing it without at least installing new filter capacitors.

If you can remove the chassis from the cabinet and take a photo of the underside of the chassis, folks here would be able to tell if any recent restoration work has been done on it.
