Hello Dan. I have an original US cord to a yo-yo charger (semi-transparent, flat round charger plug). The two-prong US plug on the end of the cord is not polarized at all, so I don't think that the polarity really matters. However, the colors of the wire within the cord *seem* to correspond at least slightly to the modern IEC color code (one wire is tinted blue, one is tinted amber/brown). Judging by only this, I can tell you that, facing the connector on the yo-yo, with the empty pin spot facing downwards, the blue wire (neutral?) goes to the left pin, and the brown wire (line?) goes to the right pin. I don't know for absolute certain whether or not it's polarity-correct as far as the IEC color code goes, but that's how they have it wired. I hope this helps. -Adam -- Adam Vaughn Collector of old computers, video game systems, radios and other electronic equipment...
