Default Re: Any other plug collectors out there?

Watching an episode of Back In Time For The Weekend recently, the family were given a new-fangled Japanese music centre (1970s) which I noticed was fitted with an obviously original (battered and grubby!) MK Safetyplug.

What struck me as unusual, though, was that the sleeving on the pins was white. And it reminded me that, out of the many that I've had over the years, I've only ever had one MK Safetyplug with white sleeves.

I reckon they must have been quite a rarity, then? I know white sleeving is common these days.

I particularly like those certain plugs that have brown and blue sleeves, in fact I think they should be standard on all new, rewireable plugs. It would surely help to prevent silly, and potentially dangerous, mistakes by 'modern day' people who have no idea how to wire a plug!
