"Does polarity matter?

Pfft! I owned a '64 Mini Traveller*.

All reversed polarity means is you have to reverse *all* the polarities back to the breakers. Easy peasy, volts up the fingers. Aggleaggleaggle.

Of course, if the polarity is reversed on the drop from the pole pig, life gets a bit more pyrotechnic.

* Positive ground electrics - something to do with corrosion resistance. Wiring accessories like radios was "fun". Also had a genny, so those accessories had better not be too thirsty.
