Ragnar,
Were they selling any old (1980s and older) radios?
220 volt appliances with NEMA plugs? Hmmm...sounds familiar.
I once saw an electric can opener in the 220-volt section of an electronics store with that sort of fitting. I thought someone had made a mistake on the assembly line and things got crossed.
Of course 110/220 volt switchable appliances usually come with NEMA cordsets. I have three no-name cheepie radios like that.
