If you are open to considering either a C5 or C7 IEC 60320 coupler

it would be needed for a replacement C64 PSU) a C7 will also cut the
per unit cost and allow for a smaller case.
I'm game, but can you obtain those
cords easily for non US/CA/JP countries?
Have you tried contacting Delta? In years past this sort of "unusual"
PSU would have been right up their alley, but they might require a
large production run. They can even build them where the casing is
held together with screws instead of being solvent welded together,
making them easier to service later (once the filter caps begin to dry
out in a decade or so). On that note, you would probably also want to
specify that only genuine, high quality 105C rated filter capacitors
are to be used, from either Nichicon, Rubycon, or Panasonic (and
specify the series).
No, you're the second person to recommend Delta, and I
will reach out to
them.
