Indeed it is Al, ease of connections methinks. Not by me though.

Perhaps it improves the Hum.

Will not be an easy one this.............are they ever? Going to have to look closely at HT voltages and valves.
I am not sure whoever converted the set to 110v has made a good job.
Not very sensitive and whines on LW, like a decopuling cap. So the work continues!

Hi Alan, it is to allow a non-live chassis. Usually has a Y cap between bussbar and chassis.

Ah, so.
Thanks Ed.

The thing is that these sets were an American design that they brought over here with the dropper mains cable. The set does not have room for a dropper and it would get too hot. They are a bit tricky to convert actually.

Good luck!

Cheers,

Indeed Steve, Indeed. However my mentor instructed me with cunning, skill and mains filter cap technology!
