[Collins] 516F-2 wiring

Hi Cam,

Your 516F-2 should have a 3 prong plug and the power supply does follow 
code in that the fuse is in the black or "load" lead.  Realistically, it 
will work without problem if the leads are reversed but I would be very 
concerned about your house wiring if the outlets in your current house 
have the load and neutral connections reversed.  Hopefully it was your 
previous house that was wrong but if it is your current one I would get 
your wiring checked and corrected because if someone reversed the wiring 
on a number of outlets it is likely that there are other serious mistakes.
