How to replace hardwired stock power cord ?


Hello!

I have an old - but exquisite Nakamichi MB10 CD Player.  I did come across a post - with very detailed instructions and pictures of modifications possible - someone having modified the unit - basically he changed the stock power to a detachable "IEC" connector - changed some capacitors etc ....

Regretfully I didn't bookmark it - and i cant find it now...have searched the net few time... :( bummer!

Would anyone know - how to go about cutting out the original hardwired cheap power cord and replace it with a good quality one ?

Have I posted this under right topic ? 

Any help - much appreciated....thanks

 Your CD player is very old (20+ years) and really is it worth spending time and money trying to upgrading it? I highly doubt you'll hear much sound difference with a power cord change (I've been wrong before though). 

I'd bet you'd have better sound quality results by spending the money that would be spend on a power cord on a DAC.  there are some good DAC's that are under $250 that would sound a whole world better then the old one in the Nak. IMO

I'm not trying to be judgmental just bringing some (possible) reality to the discussion. 

Also if you have never soldered before I'd get someone that has some experience to do the work, if you go ahead. bad solder joint on the power input could be a fire hazard. or get some training that could be fun also.
