Randal, I couldn't agree with you more. My parent's home was built in the late 1970's, renovated by "professionals" in the 1990's, and is a complete wiring disaster! After brining in a licensed electrician this past Summer to figure out how to install a simple light fixture, the electrician shook his head in amazement at the sheer madness that was/is their home's wiring system.

For an old radio, wouldn't it be a good idea to plug the radio directly into a surge protector?
