AK Model 42 Transformer Ground?
#3

Yes. It used to go up to one of the 2 posts that hold the power supply board in place. Without it you will have no HV return (ground). It must jump into the filter cap section to provide grounds for the caps between the chokes as well.

Use this drawing:

The HV connections that go to the rectifier plate will have continuity to it somewhere around 150- 300 ohms, I don't remember right off. It is just another tap on the transformer. So it looks like all of the others. As I recall it is on the same side as the other HV wires. CAUTION, this transformer can easily make 850 volts.
