Replacing a two prong cord with a three.

docrock55 · June 7th, 2006, 12:17 PM

Just bought a 1970 Fender Princton, and need to replace the fryed cord. Can some one guide me to link on how to do this? I do remember something about removing the "death cap." I do have some soldering and electronics skills, but want to do this the right way.
TIA
