[R-390] Need AC power cords with round chassis...

[wli]

Good point. You just can not trust that any AC cord will be wired correctly. IMHO the ubiquitous *computer cords* are OK. I suggest that one should *ohm-out* any AC input cables from the male AC input spades. The smaller one is *hot* and the wider spade is *neutral*.

In the past, I remarked on how you must check on how F101 is wired on the R390A chassis. In one case, the previous owner got confused when he installed a 3-wire AC cord. I found that the neutral went to the microswitch and the hot lead went straight to T801.

This may seem elementary to most, but nothing takes the place of safety.
