If time and skills in working with metal are not too rare, what about
mounting a rubber connector like a computer has? Or even Neutrik
PowerCon (See
http://www.neutrik.com/content/products/level03.aspx?id=204_390365502&catId=CatMSDE_industry
)

I prefer the rubber connector thing but I wasn't brave enough to mount
one into my Roland Juno 106 or Korg Trident MK2. I once did so for an
old Laney Guitar amp Though, it was a lot of work but worth it.

Wall warts and fixed mounted or proprietary power chords are evil[tm].
Every time I go on stage with my Oberheim OB3\ufffd (quite occasionally,
unfortunately), I promise myself to rip apart the wall wart and mount it
into the keyboard where there's a lot of space left....

Best,
