Can you put a polarized plug on an S38E Hallicrafters and minimize the shock hazard?
Original Answer: Yes, the wide blade of the polarized plug would connect to the chassis of the radio. Another solution to the potential shock hazard would be to use an isolation transformer between the radio power plug and the power outlet. Correct Answer - NOT YET! Depending on which wire you choose to be the 'wide', or 'Neutral' blade, the chassis will either be 1) hot all the time, until switched on, or: 2) hot when switched on. Hallicrafters put the switch near the chassis ground because they felt this would remove 'hum' from the audio. Unfortunately it creates a hazardous situation that is only mitigated by having the chassis electrically separated from the cabinet by plastic spacers. If these plastic spacers fail, the cabinet could become hot.
To correct this, one needs to go inside the radio and SWAP where the 'on' switch: moving the 'newly polarized Neutral to the spot where the switch currently goes; then take the switch and move it between the newly polarized HOT line and where the old wire went. All that is needed is a soldering iron and possibly an additional few inches of 18-ga wire. For a pictorial view of what takes place, see: http://mikeyancey.com/S-38B_refurb.php

Where is shock therapy preformed today?
Shock therapy, specifically electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), is performed in various mental health settings today, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, and specialized psychiatric facilities. It is typically administered by trained psychiatrists or anesthesiologists in a controlled environment to ensure patient safety. ECT is primarily used to treat severe depression, bipolar disorder, and certain other mental health conditions when other treatments have failed. The procedure is conducted under anesthesia, and safety protocols are strictly followed to minimize risks.

How is electrical shock hazard defined?
An electrical shock hazard is defined as a potential danger to a person's health or safety caused by contact with an electrical energy source. This can occur when a person comes into contact with live electrical parts, leading to the flow of electric current through the body, resulting in injury or even death. Electrical shock hazards can vary in severity depending on the level of voltage and current involved.

How does a polarized plug prevent reverse polarity?
A polarized plug allows connection in only one direction. This ensures that electrical components with a higher risk of user contact, such as the shell of a lamp socket, as opposed to the center pin, is connected to neutral, and thus not presenting an electrocution hazard.
