Looking to replace the original 2 prong power cord with a 3 prong ground plug.
The metal plate on the back of the head reads....Output= 100w RMS...Primary= 120V...
FRE= 60 Hz...Input 1.8 Amps.
Where can I find a power cord thats compatible with the above information?
Thanks.
Google says 19 gauge or better. I usually just hack the end off an IEC cable since I have them laying all over the warehouse. 1.8 amps isn't a ton of current, so most any power cable within reason should be able to handle it.

I actually tend to add an IEC jack to the amp and then use an IEC cable (right angle a lot of times, which is handy). This makes it SO much easier to work with and you can use whatever IEC cable you want.
