Hi,
I have been searching the various sections on the Phorum but have not found the answer to this rather basic question...
Since the capacitors at the power transformer primary to the chassis ground can cause shock hazards if they leak electrically, what was the intended function of these when they worked, and are they effective? If the chassis is now grounded with a 3 prong cordset, are these capacitors needed at all?
