Default Zenith B600 power cord and reel

Greetings. I just picked up a very, very nice B600L. Yes, the leather one
and it's in great shape in every way. I bought it as a restoration project,
but it doesn't need much, mostly just a good cleaning, general checkup and
alignment. Can't wait to see how it turns out; I think it will be a real
beauty.

While I have it apart, I figure I'll replace the power cord. I'm sure I can
figure it out, but is there anyone out there that has done this? Remember
this is on a retractable reel, which currently works fine and I'd like to
keep it that way. I have the schematics and alignment procedures, but not a
general service manual that details how this assembly comes apart. Can
anyone provide some guidance on replacing the power cord, or point me to a
resource? Any tips would be appreciated, like "make sure you don't do
such-and-such" or "be sure to do this before that".

Thanks.
Jeff
