Since its a transformer operated set the polarity really won't matter all that much. Good logic says put the switch on the hot side to cover the instances where it COULD matter and I think putting the caps after the switch is a good idea. And I'd put a fuse in there too!

I've never understood why they put the switch after the caps in so many sets? Maybe just a question of physical wiring convenience?
