[Boatanchors] AC Connections

[Carl]

Id replace that .1 with a .01 unless you want a bit of a tingle Barrie.

Run the neutral directly to the transformer then switch and fuse the hot 
side. Im using an old Seeberg juke box amp ending in 6L6G's for similar into 
the 810's;  looks to be late 30's toWW2.
