Default Looking For Replica Vintage Electrical Cable

I am refurbishing one of my 15-91's, and I've found that the wire from the motor to the 3-pin power connector needs to be replaced, and perhaps the wire for the lamp and the foot controller as well. I could certainly use basic 18/2 lamp cord, but I can't find any that doesn't have the telltale groove down the length of the wire.

I've been able to find replica cloth-covered round wire, but it's from the wrong era. My machine is from 1952, and the original wire is rubber-covered and it's oval. Also, the opening in the foot controller won't accept a round wire without enlarging it with a file or Dremel (not my first choice).

Does anyone know of a source for this kind of wire? Thanks.
