[Heathkit] DX-100B AC wiring (was DX-100B on Phone - bad audio distortion / oscillation)

[Rick Poole]

Just thought you all would be interested in my latest adventure with 
this DX-100B...

A previous owner had replaced the dual-fused plug with a 3-wire 
grounded polarized plug and cable, and a fuseholder on the back of the chassis.

Yes, he did wire up the power cable so that the neutral side of the 
power cord is fused, and not the hot side.

And yes, I did discover this the hard way.  :-(
