This is the 1st 3-wire power cord antique radio that I have come across that I am in the process of restoring.
I need to replaced the crumbling power cord and see that it has 3 wires. One live wire goes to the T1 antenna connection. One live wire goes to the on/off volume switch and the 3rd wire connects to the 35Z5GT Half-Wave Vacuum Rectifier Power-supply tube, however the other end of this wire does not make a connection at the plug itself.
I am confused! I would think this might be a resistance wire (R1 - 10 ohm)?
I don't understand how this works if the end is not connected to something at the plug end.
