What safety problem? What they're designed for and as far as I know so long as they wired correctly perfectly safe and above board.

I think a 50's vintage plug on a 70's vintage equipment would not be an anachronism. Plugs were reused indefinitely until the era of the pre-moulded plug. Most replacement equipment would come without a plug and would have the plug off the equipment it replaced transferred to it.

Used to always be my job whenever we got anything new when I was a kid...quite a rare event though!
