Where can make power cord be detachable for LS15

I like my Audio Research LS-15 pre-amp. I want to use a better power cord to replace the permanent factory power cord. It seems need remove the original power cord firstly, and make a hole to fit the AC Inlet. The work is hard to me due to I have not the special tools.
Where or which store could help me make it in Los Angeles area. Appreciate some one can let me know!

Might be best to just trade for the later version. The cap and power supply upgrade was relatively inexpensive, and very worthwhile.

I had this done to an earlier ARC pre an SP6B. I had it done by an experienced tech. This seems to me the most direct and practical way to accomplish this. Since IECs are shared with the computer world there may be more people who understand power supply IEC work than may first appear.

Skysound,

Instead of cutting a hole in the back of the LS-15 for an IEC inlet connector you might want to consider a male IEC cord cap connector.
You would just cut the existing power cord about 6" from the rear panel and wire the IEC male connector to the cord.
The connector in this Link is one I found doing a search on the Net. You may be able to find an audio grade male connector.
