At the same time, I would be very careful. "Telling somebody it might be, or is, dangerous " is an admission YOU knew it was below current standards.
Selling a car with "iffy " brakes?? THAT is plain nasty!!!, I am a pacifist but I would bash you for that one.
With respect to your current question, I would have found a chassis plug ( male ) and remade the umbilical cable myself.
That way you have taken "all reasonable steps " to render the equipment safe.
Remember though, this is under English law ( because you sold it ) and depending on how many plums the solicitor, has in his mouth at any one time,
can be interpreted in any number of ways. ( we essententially have equivelent laws in Au. )
THAT said, you have advised the buyer that this is "antique equipment and must be brought up to standard " is a fair warning of danger.
I wouldnt like to test that in law, but at least you did try.
I would rest easy for the time being, and hope that the dropper resistor in the power amp is large enough to only service a good boot, rather than a lethal dose.
One cannot beat learning by experience.
