Jim:

That is a "standard" AC fitting, which, if you can go to an electrical (not 
electronic) parts distributor and look at their poster of AC fittings, you will find 
one shown.

It MAY have to be special-ordered, but they ARE available.

Mouser may have it, in fact.

Actually, the same thing holds true for many of the somewhat odd-ball AC 
fittings that were used on Navy receivers. I am thinking specifically of the 
RBL. I have several RBLs here, and I found the exactly correct AC fitting for 
that receiver at our local electrical parts distributor.

I also found the exactly-correct fittings for the SRR-11/12/13/FRR-21/22/23 
receivers at Mouser.
