[Lafayette] HA-460

Hi. I rescued a sad looking HA-460, 6 Meter AM radio. It came with a 
W7FG manual. Unfortunately, it came without the power cords.

On the schematic, someone has penciled in:

AC Cord........Pins #1 and #3 to 115 VAC
Jumper pins #4 and #5

DC Cord........Pins #6 and #7 to 12 VDC (doesn't say which is + or -, 
but there is a polarity switch)
Jumper pins #8 and #9

I configured it for AC (briefly), but no lights or filaments (but no 
smoke either!!)

Would one of you fine folks out there, please take a look inside of the 
shell on your AC and DC Cords and give me the scoop???

Because this radio uses a 'universal supply', I don't just want to 
start putting 115 VAC on pins 'till it works.

BTW, back in the early 70s, I bought one of these brand new. I used to 
go 'hilltopping' on the various mountain tops around where I lived back 
in Mass and New Hampshire. I used a collapsible 3 element made by 
Henry, (W1NEV) of Hi-Par antennas. I can honestly say that in all my 47 
years of hamming, that was the most fun I have ever had! AM was still 
king on 6 Meters, but SSB was starting to catch on. I still have 2 of 
those 6 Meter beams. NICE design, Henry, RIP!!!
This HA-460 came from a town VERY close to where I used to live in 
Mass. It may be my own radio. But it sure wasn't taken care of the way 
I take care of my radios.

Thanks in advance!!
