Back in the 50's & 60's German equipment like that Eumig projector would have had a red earth wire as standard on the lead supplied with the projector. |
Not sure what your point is regarding the colour of wires. My point is that he
said that an earth wire was adrift etc - as I previously said.
BTW, as I've previously said, I love the programme and these faux pas are just how it is in order to produce a programme that is entertaining for the masses. As a restorer myself I would much rather the populous watch this than say X-factor. I loved the job that the lady did on that painting, and I do like to see the response of the owners. It is not meant to be a cold, clinical, 100% accurate tutorial on how to restore stuff, such a programme would have a much more limited appeal and less commercial success, which is the reason that programmes are made of course.
