Someone slipped a Mickey into my octal socket

Dude...

You just casually drop that in here like "ain't no thang" and walk out without saying a word.

Props.

'e like that sometimes, 'e is.

Oh. @Redboy's uncharacteristically churlish pithy post earlier made me think about the EICO AF-4 amplifier. Even EICO wouldn't call it "high fi", so no HF designation.
The AF-4 has, as many of all y'all may know, identical round plugs* on the back panel: two for L and R loudspeakers (different impedance taps) -- and a third one to power a separate amp or preamp.


Ground and 8 ohm OPT tap or ground and B+
What could possibly go wrong?

____________________________
* OK, in theory, the speaker plugs have five pins, and the, shall we say, ZAP plug has four -- but the configuration of the four pin plugs is regrettably interchangeable with the five pin (although, of course, not vice versa). Do not ask me how I know this. 🤦‍♂️

Just on to the next thing in the world that needs my attention...
