Finishing up my JP SS restoration. Was soldering in a new power cord and noticed that the banded side of the original cord went to the right side of the plug, while the banded side of the plug I got from Steve at PBR leads to the left side of the plug.

In the picture of that small transformer thing that the power cord leads are soldered on, the banded side was originally on the left lead, non-banded on the right. So that's how I soldered the new cord.

My knowledge of electrical outlets ends at my contact number for my home electrician, and I'm thinking that if it was soldered on reversed, REALLY bad things could happen.

Please look at the pics below, and if anybody can tell me precisely which side of the plug should lead to which side of that small grey box (as well as which side of the plug is the hot lead), I'd really appreciate it. So would my Joker Poker.

Thanks for the heads-up! (A little embarrassing since I compiled the original compendium of Vid's guides.)

It didn't help, though...in fact, there was some confusion over the whole thing in that thread. So I cross-posted there. Thanks again!

I just find it strange that the banded side of the old cord was leading to the right side of the plug, but on the new cord it's coming off the left side. That's why I made sure to put the banded side on the left terminal again...but upon double checking it, noticed the discrepancy.
