| Power cables for vintage MC75 mono amps Collecters of vintage gear (like myself) prefer the original ac cord. Only if it's frayed and a hazard is replacement acceptable. | |
| Power cables for vintage MC75 mono amps Cutting the cord will hurt the resale value of vintage gear, something to consider! |
