Once again, my radio deviates from the original schematic as far as the power input goes. You mentioned linking one end of the line cord with B- at the switch. I see this on the schematic, however, B- and A- do not run through the AC/DC switch on my radio. They connect directly with the line cord at another location. This has me a little confused so I drew a schematic of the power input for my radio. See if you can make any sense of it.

And, I'm kind of sorry but I don't really understand your second paragraph. I don't know what a kludge is.
