You may end up having to do away with the interlock and hard-wire a modern power cord to the radio. The whole AC interlock idea started in the late '40's, mainly on TV's, in order to help prevent the set owner, who often knew nothing about electronics or the dangers of HV, from shocking or electrocuting himself while poking around in the TV. Of course, all one would need would be a "cheater cord" in order to bypass the interlock. Interlocked power cords continued to be used up until at least the early '80's on TV sets. I'm currently working on an '82 Sylvania that uses an interlocked power cord.
