Arthur,
Your correct. I thought that was the anode cap on a rectifier tube. I
couldn't figure why in the world they would have done that. Next time
I'll look up the tube but figured it a diode. Still at that, it is poor
engineering practice to do this. The eye tube, I can see as it has to be
shown. I think if it were me designing that, I would have mounted the
tube on it's side if it allowed it, or put the assembly in a larger
case. Hal Mandel, W4HBM, brought up a good point about the line cord not
being grounded. A lot of equipment back then was this way. The only way
TV, and stereo sets get by with it today is using insulated cabinets
being fiberboard or plastic.

Will and all,
If your referring to the "CAP" connection on top of the tube you do NOT need to
worry it is not the plate it is the grid. Typical Operation of the grid -13.5
volts.

I know this don't necessarily have to do with amps, but I figured I'd
show this as what not to do in building any tube application. Can anyone
spot the shock hazard on the old CD capacitor checker? I seen this and
my jaw dropped, oh the good ol days =)
