Need Help Garrard Turntable

I recently purchased a Garrard Turntable that was pulled from a GE Console. I'm having a very hard time finding info on it and I need a power cord. The picture I'm attaching shows some numbers and the power plug. The plug looks similar to a computer hard drive plug.

Any help is appreciated!

Mine came with the same issue when I got it a number of years ago and I ended up cutting the plug off, making a little connection block and soldering to it (I think it was a solder connection I used). Not all of the wires have to do with power, some run an interconnection with the amp etc. in the console and will not be needed. I'm not going to be anywhere near my table for a couple of days, but if no one else has the complete solution I'll check when I get back home in a couple of days. Not hard to solve if I recall aright. Type A isn't it?
 
Thanks for the link to the power cord.

As for the model, I just Googled Type A and it does not resemble the one I have. However I just looked some more and there is an AT Mark 5 that looks right, so I guess it may be an "AT"...

Here is a Top View.

I'd guess thats a Model 40 or 50. There are a dozen things in the AT6/AT60 family that are basically similar, other than the tonearm and motor.

There are 4 wires in that plug. One is a ground to the chassis. One is a neutral to the motor. One is a hot to the switch, the other is a return hot from the switch. The return hot was used to shut the amplifier off when the stack of records was done playing. You don't need that one.
 
Looks to be early Autoslim AT range. GE did use those in some consoles then. Has the headshell so can accept 1/2" mount cartridges. Medium mass options tracking at around 2.5-3 grams like Shure M 44-7 great choices in one.
