...After condenser bank replacement in Philco 20
#3

What do you mean by "Grounded"?

None of the caps is actually connected to GND (Chassis). They are connected across the full-wave rectifier output (those 1uF ones) and across the resistive divider, but the rect. output connects to GND only through 187 Ohm resistor, not directly.

Or do you mean what I said before, that they were capacitive-coupled to GND via surface area between the caps (due to them being large) and the metal can?

Otherwise, if you know a trick how to "GND" them - tell me. But according to the wiring and the sch. - they were not connected directly to the Chassis in any way.

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.
