Hello Fellow Vintage Radio Friends
My question today has to do with the "ground" on the Radiola 17. As you know this radio came with a standard two-wire (silk-braided) power cord which feeds into the filter on power transformer array. It also had a separate "ground" wire on the other side of the chassis. I wish to convert to a vintage looking three-wire power cord with "ground" and my question relates to where I would affix the "ground" wire at the filter/transformer end. Can I simply attach it to the chassis somewhere? Is there a preferred or recommended place somewhere on the power transformer chassis or tube chassis? Surely, for safety reasons, this conversion has been done many times before, not only on Radiolas but on other radios of this vintage. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. I am a beginner and hence the rather low-level of my technical understanding on these simple issues. I can't seem to find anyone in my area who enjoys this same hobby.
Best regards,
