On the last AC-4 that I upgraded I bought an extension cord with molded three pronged male end about 10 feet long and #12 wire. Then I cut off the female end and carefully tested each wire to see which was the ground (Round third plug); The wider blade is the ground and the narrower blade is the "hot"wire.
I put the main ground to the chassis by a bolt through one of the old Can Capacitor slots. The length of the cord should be to suit your situation to avoid extension cords! Good luck with it, Kris KM2KM ----- Original Message ----- From: John Gartman To: drakelist@zerobeat.net Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2012 11:20 AM Subject: [Drakelist] AC-4 My power cord from power supply to radio is a little poor looking at the strain relief, and is more than likely a little brittle. Should I try just cutting it off or replacing it? If I was to replace it any recommendations on where to get this type of cord?
