I now have the required socket to make up a power lead. Before I go ahead I wanted to check something.

On opening up the socket (or is it a plug? - you know what I mean anyway, the bit that goes into the tape machine) it looks to me as though the mains cables are to be soldered in place.

Is that correct? I was expecting some sort of arrangement similar to a mains plug with screwed terminals.
