Cloth covered cord from earpiece to box.  I don't intend to touch the insides.

You need to determine what type of cord you need.  Is your current cord spade-spade or spade-pin connectors (the pins would be inside the receiver.  Are the conductors rubber or cloth jacketed?  What type of cord restraints does it use?  Is your cord just stiff or is it broken or frayed?  If it's intact a good cleaning in warm soapy water might help it.   These are questions you should consider before buying a replacement cord.  You do not want to order one, pay shipping from Canada, wait 6 weeks and discover you have ordered the wrong cord. 

I would order a Western Electric spade-pin style receiver cord with cloth conductors and cloth cord restraints for your phone
