Chassis ground
#14

Hi Arron, I'm back on the Philco 42 PT-7 rebuild which you responded about last year.  Could you explain what determines when the "common ground" is used and when "chassis ground" is used.  Is chassis ground  always established by AC couple through a capacitor to common ground?  Do I understand correctly that a "floating chassis ground" consists of wired chassis ground system separate from actual chassis and if so how is it terminated?  I'm still circling around understanding this concept and appreciate your time.
Larry

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
