Hmm, that triggered a memory. I used to have an AC/DC one from the '60s -
manual switch, and you could feed 12V DC in on the same power socket as
AC. I doubt something like that would pass H+S these days, never mind the
amount of people who'd try to feed it domestic AC with the switch on the
DC setting and fry the thing
