Re: Cable and plug for Wartime Civilian Receiver?
I mean, the choice of cable and plugs - as originally asked for - have been discussed, ad infinitum. How much more time do we have to allocate to that subject/issue when it is clearly very subjective? Personally - and as I hinted at in an earlier post - I fail to understand the hardcore fascination and preoccupation with 'vintage accuracy' when set against a real world backdrop of intelligent and practical compromises and 'vintage acceptances'.

Re: Cable and plug for Wartime Civilian Receiver?
Why? Make sure all the insulation is correct, and plug it in, as normal. You don't need the latest standards for safe operation; they just help.
You can take a light-bulb out, without tools, and stick your fingers in, if you really want to get a shock. Presumably no-one does! |
