[ARC5] ARC-2 Information

[hwhall at compuserve.com]

I was hedging my bet... I've not worked on or examined a very large number of AA5 sets. But for all the handful of transformerless ones I've restored, that was what I found in each.

This makes it sound like this was an option, maybe a minority, when in fact the exact opposite is true. I just looked at a Boy Scout radio manual, the only manual I could find ( it didn't hide well enough ) and it talks exactly on this subject. In fact I was going to scan and post the schematic, to rub it in, but we can skip that. -Hue    >On at least some AA5 sets there was indeed a separate internal ground buss or common, separate from the chassis itself. And there was a capacitor that went from that buss to the chassis. E.g., the Hallicrafters S-38E and others. A paralleled resistor & capacitor conntected buss & chassis. The schematic shows two different grounding symbols as a result.
