In my thread Identify 1930's radio it was remarked there are pre made cloth covered mains cords available. Could some one point me as to where to get these.

Thanks for any help with this.

Put in a temporary modern grey mains cord with moulded plug and fitted chassis anchoring and current practice earthing so as to make things a bit safer while work was being done.

A cloth covered cord would look better for sure.

Tallar Carl (on this forum) has these.

I even have one on my Sunbeam Toastermatic toaster - the only toaster with its own fan club and website!
