[Elecraft] About my capacitor failure (etc.) issue:

[Jim Brown]

Ray is correct.  A study of the schematics for Astron linear supplies 
makes it clear that nothing in the circuitry is referenced to the 
chassis.The vast majority of PSUs are built so that V- can be bonded or 
not.  V- is NOT ground, it is V-. And in our systems, it should NOT be 
bonded in the PSU. See my previously posted link for a discussion of WHY 
V- should not be bonded.
