Pioneer CT-F950 ground wire

Hi,
I just changed the belts and rebuilt the rewind / ff motor on my Pioneer CT-F950. I have a ground wire connected to a 4 prong terminal behind the tape assembly. I can not remember where this connects to. It doesn’t appear to impact the performance but I would like to reconnect. Any thoughts?

Is the transport block made out of plastic? Later Pioneers switched to plastic, and perhaps it's home is on a metal component within the transport block-to eliminate ground hum.
 
Yes, it is made out of plastic. I believe you are correct that it needs to connect to a metal component. Just cant figure out which one and am having a hard time finding it in the service manual.
 
Perhaps look for a fastener on the transport block that hits metal, ideally near the head mounting block.

Have you tested record/play, to listen for hum?
