Oh I know I can wire a regular cord to it, to me its a little strange that it appears the AC cord goes straight into a circuit board without passing through a transformer or anything, but hey, I didnt design it. I just wanted to find something that looked a little more like factory work than a homemade splice job.
I found a few cords similar to what mechanic688 posted, but like the one shown, none of them were polarized...whereas the one I did end up with from the trash can is polarized. I assume I should try to stick with a polarized replacement cord if I can. I think I do have some 3 prong cords that should work fine as well, it just wouldnt have a ground. I could always find something metal in the unit to ground to.
Kinda seems like its a non-standard cord the more I look around. Oh well, a minor setback.
To add to the story, I was speaking to another Camel (or RJ Reynolds I should say) rep today, one that I have a bit of rapport with you might say, and was telling him about the fridges and stuff. He was surprised at how the other rep had behaved and said he had freely offered the fridges from the stores he did to the employees, but no takers. Shame he didnt do our stores..BUT he did say he had a couple of those fridges in storage, and also had more stores to do, and that he would try to save some for me. So I was excited about that, but time will tell if he follows through.
