Default Re: What is a good Earth for radios use.

In the early days most houses, if wired for mains at all, only had lighting circuits. This is why early radio books often show adaptors in light sockets. Even when power was introduced (5 & 15 amp unfused round pin sockets) there was often only one socket upstairs & one downstairs, often on the cooker box.
