RE: Enlighten me ...

Yes Dave, Hallelujah.! The 517 (and thousands of other things) was made in the late 70's, early 80's. If they had 2-core mains cables then they would have had non-polarized plugs because it did not matter - and still does not matter which way round they're connected. It didn't matter 35 years ago and it doesn't matter now. The Russian guy who initially asked the question obviously doesn't know much at all about electricity - that's why he asked. The answer you gave him was misleading to say the least. You seemed to forget that he was asking about a 35 year old amp, with 2-core mains cable that could have only been manufactured with a standard non-polarized plug. How about all those old amps from the 60's, 70's & 80's..? That row of AC outlets on the back with standard US 2-pin sockets. Does it matter which way round these are connected..? No it doesn't.
