AFAIK, all modern line cords follow the same convention: Green or Green/Yellow is GND, white or blue is neutral, black or brown is hot.
Most computer cords I've seen in the last 20 years are GRN/YEL - BLU - BRN - it's an international standard. 73, Steve Wedge, W1ES/4 Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils. John Stark.

Then I cut off the female end and carefully tested each wire to see which was the ground (Round third plug); The wider blade is the ground and the narrower blade is the "hot"wire. I put the main ground to the chassis by a bolt through one of the old Can Capacitor slots. The length of the cord should be to suit your situation to avoid extension cords!

Should I try just cutting it off or replacing it? If I was to replace it any recommendations on where to get this type of cord?
