Looking at the diagram there are no "bleeder" resistors on any of the supplies. I would imagine those 1.5 volt tubes could be damaged if the adapter were connected to the radio while charged up. Also, the instructions say to leave the radio power switch "on" and turn the system on and off with the switch on the adapter. Maybe that's why the cord was short, to make sure the adapter was near the radio for convenience. Could also be why the adapters are so hard to find, RCA got tired of warranty repairs when customers didn't follow the directions and stopped making the adapters.
