[R-390] R390 power cord

Roy, I think you should post your entire line cord 
diatribe right here on the R-390 list.  Not everyone 
who needs the info is going to request it from you, 
but safety is a big concern, or should be, with 
those of us new to vintage gear who are used to dealing 
with modern non-lethal (<12VDC)* radios.   

I frequently remove hacked on power cords to vintage 
military equipment, usually because the original cord
was missing and the proper connector wasn't avaialble.
It amazes me how many have the polarity wrong, aren't 
fused, and have no safety ground.

And that doesn't begin to describe the bad stuff I
see with old consumer type AC-DC BC radios.  Yikes.

*Yes, low voltage low current DC can be lethal but not 
as often as 125VAC tied direct to a gigawatt power plant.
