Radiomobile Car radio polarity switch - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

I need to know which way to turn the polarity switch on a Radiomobile car radio, model 1080. I believe there is normally a label to show direction of switch, but if so, it's long since gone. A photo of the label would be handy, as I can copy and then stick the label on the inside of the lid.

The picture in the Radiomuseum suggests its pressed into the case itself.

Well I must be going senile !! You are right of course. I just unclipped the lid while it was underneath the radio and put the lid to one side. Red face in my direction.
Radio does not work at the moment so most likely one of the transistors or more.
