Yes! Definitely a new cord. Once they reach 50+ years old, the old insulation gets stiff and brittle, making it easier to crack, break off and short. I always replace the cord. I keep a supply of cloth covered on hand, but for yours, a standard 2-prong will do the job. A new cord will have 1 plug blade grounded (wider) than the other. Wire in the new cord with the thinner blade (hot lead) wired to the on/off switch side.
