another: this power cord has been severed and needs a replacement. I'm going
to purchase a three-prong extension cord at Home Depot (along with some
flourescent bulbs... 28 inch, right? Mine are missing) and if memory serves,
aren't there three wires in these heavy-duty cords?? And only two wires
connect to the power supply, right? What do I do with the third wire? Will I
able to determine which two wires connect to the box? And as the juke came
to me without a back door and I've been putting a Frankenstein together,
where does the cord lead out of the back of the machine? There is no "power
cord hole" in this back door.

Actually, if it's like the AY (the model immediately after the Q), there is 
a large round hole in the cabinet to the lower left of the door opening.  The
line cord is held in with a large, split rubber plug.  The three-outlet 
box (like on the end of old extension cords) is mounted to the floor of the
cabinet.
