Like sonoma said, it's a 110v AC power cord, very hard to find. some have nipped the opening out and installed power jack like used on computers, they are cheap to buy and so is the cord for them, I have done this to several older radios that the cords are impossible tofind. Be careful and try to make that install look original.

Jon you can post a link if it does not sell items of any kind. like cbtricks does not sell or sponsor any items for sale. we have sponsors on the bottom of the page that you can post one of their items. this is out of common respect to them

You could probably just open the thing up, and see where the power connects and just rig up a old extension cord, and by-pass the plug... I've never done that with a AC radio, but done several 12v radios where I didn't have the right power cord...

Did you pop the lid and blow out all the dust and cobwebs, while your doing that look for missing components, big give away is no cord coming with the purchase but at least in your pic it still has the fuse cap.

I did find out there's a little small button on top on the right under the lid I guess when you take the top off it wont come on unless its pushed. It did power up but when its warming up it starts to make a buzzing noise in the speaker like wile its warming up it starts to get loader and loader and loader so something else is wrong with it.

Well it is an old radio, the little button is a safety feature to keep you from getting zapped. Sounds like it's do for the caps to be replaced and do what JJD said and check/replace the tubes.
