No power on one leg.
I received a 1986 Beaver Continental from my parents just a few months ago. Everything is awesome except there is no power to one of the legs when plugged in. However! I did have power when plugged...

Sounds like a plan. How simple is it to replace the female plug? Is it easy to screw up? Splicing and soldering are things I can do without issue.
It's about as hard as you'd think it would be, i.e. not especially difficult. You take out the old one, and connect the terminals on the right one to the right wires. Typically it's a screw connection or a screw clamp sort of connection. Of course, it is essential to get the wires connected to the correct terminals—ground to ground, neutral to neutral, etc. I hesitate to suggest that any job is tough to screw up, but this is one where, with a little care, it's not too hard to avoid screwing up.
The basic overall concept, as you probably understand already, is that the load should always have a male plug and the power source a female so that, no matter what may get unplugged, there is never any live power on any exposed pins.
