If you can find out which two of the four pins of the AC/DC power socket are used for AC input (this info should be on the schematic diagram), you could use a standard TV cheater cord. I use a 4-pin cord meant for a Sony AM-FM radio to power my Zenith K-731 and also one other radio in my collection. Works very well. Also, I use a cord designed for a Panasonic boom box to operate my Zenith R-70 AM-FM portable on AC. The female connector fits the male AC power socket on the back of the radio perfectly. I also found that cords meant for use with Norelco electric razors also fit the AC power socket of the Zenith R-70 and R-7000 just fine.

BTW: is your TV one of those AC-DC sets that can be powered from batteries or AC house current? If so, I would think it is quite rare, as I have never seen an AC-DC color set before this one. The reason is power draw. Even solid-state color TVs draw much more current than monochrome sets; as such, the former could, and likely would, drain a set of batteries in no time flat -- unless this TV is of a very special design that doesn't draw much current.
