Back in the day, when TV were made with tubes, glorious tubes, the power cord was attached to the back cover and held in place by a shim. Getting it out was easy, but putting it back was a pain, when the TV needed servicing. So some enterprising person figured out that you could bring your own cord and 'cheat' the connection.
'course back then I did the tube replacements myself (I was 12?) by visiting Walgreen's a couple blocks away and playing with the U-TEST-IT machine. New tube, TV works, Mom is enthralled. Usually the horizontal oscillator? Walgreen's had a decent food counter on the first floor and ice-cream for 25 cents a pint, ohboy. Ah, memories.
