"tony sayer is a stinking pommy **** "

Phil Allison

Bet the Beeb et alia stopped doing that when they nearly electrocuted
the
first guitarist.


1. The most common error in AC plug wiring is Neutral-Earth reverse - the
item works and there is no big problem until you find an AC outlet that
has
Active and Neutral reversed.


Mind you in the UK moulded on plugs have been around years and years ...



** Shame that does to apply the matter in question.


As to adversely wired mains sockets ....



** Not the matter in question either, but the lack of such miswired outlets
backs my point up.

Now go back to your kiddie fiddling - ****head

No. I've seen earths left off, though. Dunno why.

** Nothing civilised about the how you pommy ****s grossly over-snip and
then reply in another context.

The original context was set in the PAST when mains leads used with
BRITISH made guitar amps often looked like the one in this link.

Either ends can be wired wrongly, the Bulgin end being the more likely.


** Not the matter in question either, but the lack of such miswired

Right..


** It backs up my point it cos the miswired Bulgin lead would have worked
and not been a serious hazard until it arrived at BBC TV and got plugged one
of their iso trannies.

Then you might care to explain why there was not once case of electrical
shock or whatever under those circumstances. But many incidents and even
deaths where bands were 'on the road' with not an isolating transformer in
sight.

I do realise logic isn't your strong point, though.

Since I started this topic you've taken over with your usual insults -
while failing to help in any way with the original question - I'd point
out that the 405 is fitted with an IEC mains inlet. And pretty well all
IEC leads come with that connector moulded on. The small mains Bulgin used
on the 303 and 33 is a solder connector - so unlikely to be mis-wired
other than by a total idiot. (It may be that small Bulgin was also used in
early versions of the 405)

You'd have to go back two generations of Quad to the valve amps to find
that particular Bulgin connector in use.

** Yawnnnnnnnnnnnn..............

** Shame how Quad supplied a re-wirable IEC plug packed with each 405.

Cos there are so many different, ****ing AC plugs on the planet.

** Fraid that makes it maximally likely to be miswired.

You cock sucking pommy ****.


(It may be that small Bulgin was also used in early versions of the 405)


** Whaaaaatttttt ?

FFS - you are one raving, psycho, pommy lunatic ****.


You'd have to go back two generations of Quad to the valve amps to find
that particular Bulgin connector in use.


** The Quad ESL used an earlier and larger Bulgin AC connector.

As did Marshalls, Oranges and Sound City amps et alia.

God I hope you have a massive stroke, ASAP
