Default Re: Philips BX281U20 valve radio

Thanks for that I've noticed that I'll scroll through later today.

Again completely confused here which is the right way round on mains plug after re checking again.

Both connections on the on/off go in a loop as such.
Now the yellow cable briefly follows this route from mains in. Basically goes 2 ways 1st is linked to the -ve on the 100uf cap the +ve which goes to ground. 2nd route goes to R37 on dropper then onto C110 which is connected to -ve on the 50uf dual can then on to pin 3 of the rectifier the anode. Am I right that this is the positive connection on the mains input plug?
Or since everything is going to -ve should it be neutral on mains input plug?

I know we have been over this but I just need to double check.

Many thanks Chris
