It used to matter back in the tube days when cheap radios/TVs didn't have a power transformer. The neutral was connected to the chassis and the B+ was derived from the hot line. That gives you a hot chassis if you swap the power wires. (The chassis was all hidden in plastic, at least in theory.) What happens to a 5061 if I swap the power wires? I can imagine some second order considerations that would depend on how the power transformer is constructed. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
