It should be no problem to get the cord you need. From the photo it appears that the end of the power cable is a standard IEC C13 female plug connector as used on so many computers and other electronic devices. A quick search on Google or your favorite supplier should let you find the cord you need. Or the adaptor you need.
The comment on UK is significant. I know that a lot of UK power cords have a fuse in the plug. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BS_1363 > I would expect that it would be prudent to verify that the fuse is the correct size for the device and that you have spares. I think they do some of their premises wiring quite different from US practise. Specifically the ring circuit <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_circuit> which can deliver a very high current. Perhaps our friends over the pond can provide accurate and definitive information David K0LUM.
