Default 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'.

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!
