Replacing Philco 42-322 Radio power cord
#2

the wide tang of the cord will terminate as shown on the schematic.

normally the voltage text / type on the schematic will be placed near the hot terminal.

if you are guessing.. follow the one wire on the schematic that looks like it hits chassis ground right off the bat, that means the other wire is the hot leg.

the molded rubber cords have two runs and the one with a side bump on it or detent is typically the ground,, actually its the neutral leg. this was a standard from the 70's for folks with blindness, they can feel which way the plug goes to get it correct. later on the wider N leg tang was introduced.

if your outlet is bass akwards,,, it will need to be corrected. the silver screw terminal is "N", the goldish looking screw terminal is L1.

if your cord plug tangs are e
