Oh, wow. He's right. You can repair it yourself. The cord will just be 3 inches shorter. Home Depot or Amazon will have replacement plugs. Should cost less than $10. Something like this:

For just the power cable you can probably go to an electronics store and get a replacement. Take the frayed wires, get a clean cut, strip the wrapper from the positive and ground, and install. Here's an example from amazon.com:

If you've got prime or a drop spot near you you can get it shipped to your door and spinning vinyl tomorrow afternoon.
You can just put on a two prong plug and replace the outlet you're plugging into to a GFIC which will trip. I think that's the least complicated way to do it..

Not sure what the needs of the specific machine are... but something like this might work.

However I might not be so willing to plug it right in unless you have some idea of what and how to fix these units. I know from some things I've read they can be a little temperamental and require some basic maintenance/care/lubrication.
They also do make these as well, and you can get them from just about any home center

You don't need that one for a small two wire cord. this one is plenty, and what I use if I have to replace the plug on a two wire AC line cord. I use the 3 prong version for smaller three wire cords.
