I tried to find out when the IEC 14 socket standard, the one on the amps, was adopted, but have had no luck. It may be that it was around that long ago, but I don't recall ever seeing one on anything before IBM stuff in the mid 80's. Those transformer bell covers still bother me. I've seen huge Partidge trannies on a pair of amps that ran 12 and 14 KT88's respectively and the windings were still just laquered and open-air. There's still the question of the tranny codes and the labels, too. Believe me, I don't care to be wrong, but the same questions keep getting answered in different ways.
