Hi Ted,

Do you mean on the power supply itself or behind the power chord connector?

I could easily replace the spade connectors behind the power cord connector. 
The only thing that I'm not sure about is whether the wires are long enough.

Replacing the connectors on the power supply sounds more involved (for me)

The first thing to do I suppose is check for resistance in the power supply 
wires and see whether power is getting through (?)

Rgds,

D.
