[TenTec] About 3 prong plugs???

[Rideout Family]

The color code is in accordance with the National Electric Code which 
should always be followed but is not always, Henry Radio in their amps 
did not follow the color code.  The black is always the hot wire, white 
is the neutral which at the service is grounded and green is always 
ground.  If you have an amplifier that requires 120/240 volts then you 
use a four wire cord, red and black being the hot wires, white neutral, 
green ground.  If you ever find a piece of equipment that is not wired 
to code it is a good indication that a novice was at work, and what else 
did he do wrong?
