Now that I have everything back together and the RC bridge bypassing my bad transformer primary, I have to keep the volume turned all the way down so my local AM station doesn’t drive me out of the room!

Now I want to add a polarized plug and rewire the power switch to make it a little safer. Please correct me if I’m wrong……

If I move the power switch (#27) into the hot line between the plug and switch #28, and connect the neutral to capacitor #33 and the other side of the transformer…. This should eliminate a hot chassis whether I jumper LOC to GRD or not… or am I missing something?
