I can't help with date.
Do you have the actual plug, just no cord? I'm pretty sure the plug just unscrews. If so, just need to put new wire on and screw back together. I'm pretty sure I have one similar. From my understanding there is no modern day replacement plugs. A few sites/threads you may want to look at:

There is another thread, but can't find it now.
I think I have read where they have rewired the motor to work with a motor block.
