Default Re: My first valve radio project - Philips 462A

By convention, the lead that goes to the power switch should be mains live. If the switch is double-pole, it does not matter so much. You might find you get less power hum with the neutral to the outermost end of the transformer primary winding. But, it's alternating current; and everything is insulated anyway.
