Phillip Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I think that this is a plug for a antenna. What do you say? Click to Enlarge 21.31 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hausdok Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Hi, I agree with Mongo. It's a European 220V receptacle. The metal clips are not current carrying, they're the equipment-grounding lugs. I'll bet that homeowner had a dual-voltage rig with a european plug on it and that is some kind of adapter. I used to have a vacuum cleaner like that which I'd brought back from Germany. We did it the other way; we had an adapter that stayed on the end of the cord. It's the same idea though.

Tom Raymond Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I've only ever been to Canada, and a few US territories. They use the same funny looking receptacles that we do. Phillip, make sure you don't plug the TV into that[:-hot] Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 The plug was behind the cook top that was in a corner. There is a shelf there that the size to hold a TV and there where plugs in the living and master bedroom at the place you would see a TV. The house was 13 years old.

hausdok Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Yeah, That makes sense. Maybe a previous owner was a GI that had been stationed in Europe and he brought a European stove back with him. My wife wanted me to haul back a complete kitchen complete with appliances, cabinets and counters. I declined. OT - OF!!! M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyCraig Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Looks like the previous occupant was from Europe. I've been to Europe many times and that is definitely a 220V receptacle. I hope no one tries to plug an antenna into that lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen D. Gazo Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 we had lots of soldiers bring electrical appliances with them when they re-patted back to canada, some mentioned that their 220v 50hz washing machine spins a little faster on this side of the pond.
