I unsoldered the damaged mains lead from an old Roland drum machine

and which the neutral terminals (earth is obvious).

Can I safely assume that the live terminal is the one that goes to a
fuse? I can't think of any reason why the neutral connector should be
fused, can you?

Do check that the wire you *think* is live in the mains lead, really
is connected to the live pin in the plug.

There are some strange people that think wiring colours are more of a
rough guide than a rule.
