[Hallicrafters] Hot SX-101A chassis

[jackiv at juno.com]

Dave, if you are using a high impedance meter to measure this,   it is
normal.  
usually in service the ground terminal is to be connected to a n earth
ground  or something close to it.
The capacitors are to bypass some noise that may be on the power line.
don't worry unless the set still has the original caps in it, if so-
replace them b4 they go dead short.
have fun.     jack    jackiv at juno.com
