I actually found a website called Merry Tunes which sells all sorts of antique radio restoration parts including cloth cord, tubes capacitors and more and their stuff is reasonably priced as well.
I ordered 8 feet of brown cloth cord and a brown bakelite plug from them and a new pilot light socket (the original pilot light socket was busted) for $20 from them.
So now to wait for those parts to come in (should be here by wednesday hopefully.)
