All: That's what I did with mine, and used a Corcom filter on it to boot.
Like it just fine.

I wonder if anyone has any opinions on using one of those IEC-type
connectors
on the back of an R-390A radio for a line-cord input? I have one R-390A that
someone had modified this way and really like it. A typical IEC 3-prong plug
will fit through the original mounting hole so the IEC connector can be
mounted flush on the inside of the back panel without having to enlarge the
hole. This takes care of grounding the set also when the connector is
properly bonded to the chassis. I know at least one mail-order house that
has
the IEC input connectors with a Line-Filter built-in with a 3-AMP rating for
about 2-3 bucks each. It is really nice to be able to unplug the line cord
when moving or working on the set and not have the cord getting in the way.
Properly done the mod looks very nice. 73 Todd Roberts WD4NGG.
