It is a popular technique altogether, especially, as I noted before, when replacing "curtain-burner" 3-wire ballast power cord.

This of course will stop the radio working from DC. But then who today needs a radio to work from 110VDC?
I always have some caps specifically for this purpose, they range from 2uF to 6uF, when I want to remove a ballast resistor.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
