Hi All, I am new at learning to restore the Philco radios that I have. One is a model 81 and a model 84. Will start with the 81 first. The first question is do I replace the old line cord with new cloth 2 wire non polarized plug , which is unsafe to do or do I find a polarized plug to fit the end of the cord and not use the original round end. Or is there a replacement old looking polarized end for the new cord. Or do I just use new rubber polarized cord with end already attached. I have not plugged either radio in yet to see what happens. They have not been used for decades. Don 't want to blow anything up or get electricuted. Should I ground to chassis .
