Hi folks.
My question relates to the metal can 12 uf electrolytic cap that is isolated from the chassis, part # 30-2405. There are two wires that protrude from this capacitor. A tan wire which comes from the 41 rectifier tube cathode pin and which I’ve connected to the “+” side of my new electrolytic capacitor. I’ve connected the “-“ side of my new electrolytic cap to the floating ground connection. Question: To where does the black wire connect that comes from a two tab terminal strip near the audio power tubes? It used to go into the old metal capacitor. Does it go to chassis ground...or to the floating ground connection? When I connected it to the floating ground, the rectifier tube would arc a few seconds after the filaments light. Thanks for your help.
