Appliance lead

I knew a guy who did it on a regular basis. I tried to convince him otherwise, but to no avail.

Was some time later when he wondered why he was getting shocked when using one of his cords he finally changed over to something more sensible.

I suppose it depends on where you sit, but I've seen it plenty.

If you're playing for the pedantic old fart award, it's already been taken. Thanks for trying anyway.

Such use is EXTREMELY rare - only heard of ONE example in 40 years.

Some IDIOT used an XLR to supply mains power to an amp rack.

The inevitable disaster happened.

Story came from Nik Kay at Etone in the early 1980s.

Yes it is. But I forgot that you didn't make it that far a university to understand about fuses etc. The wiring rules treat them differently as well.

Never denied that many are still out there. Learn to *READ* what I typed.

Yaaaaawwwnnnnnnnnnn...................

BIG shame MILLIONS of them are in use all over Australia TODAY !!!!

Imagine the STEAM that must pour out of this RETARDED PEDANTs ears whenever sees one of them ??

Poor bugger might have a bloody coronary ....

Wot a friggin hoot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plus a massive blessing to all mankind.

BTW:

The only good pedant is a DEAD one.

I do sincerely hope David the Pedant's death is not soon -

but rather as long and agonising as possible.

Just a little subtle sarcasm If as you say "The XLR-LNE ( aka Cannon mains) connectors were *withdrawn from the market* about 20 years ago". How the hell could I use them . If as you say " The XLR-LNE ( aka Cannon mains) connectors were *withdrawn from the market* about 20 years ago". How can it be "100% NUTS and 100 % ILLEGAL !!!!"You maybe interested that the project has been completed as described elsewhere in this thread. Folks are very impressed. Might make some funds out of this. We thought of asking you what colour the units should be. but as my mate said your answer would be "Completely NUTS"

Might have been XLRs or XLR-LNEs - so I covered them both.

Old stock of XLR-LNEs may well be available to some - I have quite a few.

FOAD you pathetic troll.

For a moment there a little earlier, I thought your answers were leaning towards sensible.

But no, this gem shows you're back in full force.

Welcome back to the Phil we know and love. :-)
