Bob, I did the same on my 37-650. The older radios were supposed to be un pluged when not in use so caps were on line side of switch. As for polarity on sockets, I own my own home and know that all the receptacles are wired correctly and I used a three wire plug. As for the safety caps, I found they sliped right in the bakelyte block with no problem. By the way, I don't remembe my grandfather ever pulling out that plug! PL
