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!

WOW. Sending the WHOLE unit to techie by mail and than paying for services is lotsa $$$, but the fact is indeed many folks who don't even have hammer handy!

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.

Don't forget to replace all the crappy wire in the walls too.

I used to have mine done at a local electronics repair guy in Berkeley. It isn't that hard to do. He used to charge me $60 -$80.
