By doing this, the clips have to be stable and will not move while testing. Also need to insulate the conductive areas and power only to verify operation, not as a permanent solution. You can see the odd receptacle on the Sony.

That Sony with plug prongs in the back should have been easy to make a cord for. There were a lot of TEAC RTRs and other gear that used a cord like the AC half. And some 60s extension cords will fit too. I made a cord for my teac by taking one of those black bakelite outlets that tube recievers of the 50s and 60s had, removing the chassis mount bracket soldering a cord to the terminals and covering the terminal region with silicone...Worked great for years until I happened on a spare cord.
