I think that this is a plug for a antenna.

What do you say?

Four conductors, cool! You got UHF and VHF leads.

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.

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]

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.

Maybe for one of these?

This plug looks kind of like it. This one looks smaller.I wish I had tested it.

Hybrid of en:Image:Schuko (CEE 7-4) rewirable 2.jpg and en:Image:F plug.jpg (PD)

The image was made for use on en:Mains power around the world

F plug.jpg was scaled up to 250% of its original size to bring the images to roughly the same scale

Schuko (CEE 7-4) rewirable 2.jpg was pasted on top

and finally the image as a whole was cropped.

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!!!

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!

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. [:-dunce]
