ACCESSORY key position, what's on?

As the title indicates, what is energized when the key is turned left?

Obviously the radio. But I know the turn signals are operational too. The alternator light is on. That means the alternator is trying to energize right?


Reason I'm asking, at all these Wild West desert keggers, the radio gets played for hours on end. Is anything else being energized that maybe shouldn't be?

Since the below lists Acc, Off, Acc and coil, then coil start and prove out, that leads me to believe in Acc everything is on except the ignition. So jam away smedley. No points will be fried.

Thanks Jeff. I wasn't sure. I might unplug the alternator wire at the next one.
