Default Re: Another unusual plug and some other questions

This may be a bit OT and if so I apologise.

This morning I collected a Ferguson 104A radio complete with its original instruction card. This is the same as for the 104U and says that if, when connected to a DC supply, nothing happens after a reasonable warming-up period to reverse the plug. It also suggests doing this on AC to reduce hum.

This set came out in 1940 and Ferguson seem to have been taking 2-pin or lamp-holder plugs as the norm then.
