I rebuilt my Bakelite block using Y2 Safety Caps. I was thinking about using a 2 prong polarizing plug on the power cord, and then wiring the Off/On switch to the hot (L1) wire. Placing it ahead of the caps. this way the radio could be plugged in, but with the switch off, no power would be present on the caps. Is this alright to do? The Radio is a 40-190.
Thanks for any help
Bob
