>are you running a polarized plug ensuring the hot is switched?
No, You can if you like not a big deal. I don't particularity like them as they don't fit into some receptacles.

Well the 10 mfd doesn't care at all about the mains polarization as it is isolated thru the power transformer. It's strictly there to filter the negative dc voltage. The other part of 28 (.015) on the primary of the transformer gives the chassis a rf ground thru the neutral side of the mains. It's better to connect an earth ground (one not related to the mains ground or neutral) as the mains can carry a lot of noise.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
