Hello,

I am back working on my Philco 84 restore and have a question about the power connection. I am going to add a polarized plug and wanted to know if I should run the hot side to the volume/ power switch as it currently connected or to the Bakelite condenser (transformer coil) where I am going to replace the existing capacitors with .001 uf X1-Y2 safety caps.
