Chassis Rebuild
#4

Thanks for the help on the fuse! I hadn't actually thought as far as the polarized plug at this point! Sometimes you get so used to doing things DC, that you forget what AC really means! lol...

I'm going to be going with a stock style plug- the one on there now is about a 1" slightly hexagon but mainly round brown or black one. I am not sure what is original, the wiring being about 14 gauge zip-wire thrown in! My 39-116 has apparently original power wire aith a flat oval plug. On the 37-650 I am replacing the 14ga. zip with Radio Daze recommended 18ga zip in cloth covering(although I am considering getting a roll of 18 ga. cloth covered and making my own original style cloth covered power wire...
