I scored a pristine Sears ssb23 channel base radio and it's about to get a full recap but I do not have a power cord for it. Any leads would be appreciated and if you have a more beat up Sears with a power cord I will buy it off of you for a reasonable price to score that cord
 

6 pin which apparently they have an AC and a DC cord. since I am throwing all new electrolytics in I am more interested in making it work as a base

I might have a power cord for that. I do have an AC power cord from Sears 23 channel Roadtalker SSB Radio.

I’ll dig it out tomorrow and see if it’s a match...will post a picture. You can have it No Charge If it’s what you need.
 
Two pins at one end have a wider space away from the other four pins. Wider than the spacing between the four pins closest together.

Pretty sure those two pins are the 120-Volt AC input. We found that an old-style "non-polarized" TV cheater cord fits those two pins pretty well. A power cord like this was a jelly-bean kind of stock item in any TV-repair parts supply of decades ago. Now it's just another obsolete item to be found turning by turning over enough rocks.

All Electronics appears to have them: https://www.allelectronics.com/item/lcac-390/6-2-cond.-universal-power-cord-non-polarized/1.html

Pretty sure this is the right one.
