[HAM] 2 prong to 3 prong (grounded) power cord

[Ed Greany]

Ted,
   
  I replaced my old Hammond A/C cord with another 2-prong cord some years ago. I'm not sure if it is wired to polarity standards or not. Can you advise which wire in the cord goes where for proper polarization?
  Thanks.

  Again, for other readers, Polarized plugs insure (if the outlet is wired 
correctly) that hot goes to the fuse and power switch which limits the 
danger in a unit with a blown fuse or that is turned off.

Most Hammonds and vintage amps need to have switches and fuses rewired 
to be all on the same side of the power line and correctly connected to 
the hot lead when a three wire cord is added.

Cheers!
