I am currently rebuilding a 1965 Ampeg tube guitar amp. Stock, it has a 2-prong power cord with a switchable "death capacitor" to chassis. (This connects the Line or Neutral through the cap. to chassis for noise reduction).
The cap is a 0.047u, 600v tubular type. If you were rebuilding it, would you replace the cap. with a X/Y safety cap and keep the 2 wire cord, or go with a 3 wire cord and Earth ground the chassis and eliminating the cap. all together?
