Fwd: [Hallicrafters] Safety Caps

[K6JEK]

X2?  In the boatanchors I've worked on, the bypass caps are line to 
ground not across the line.  If I'm not mistaken, this calls for Y2, 
not X2 caps.   I always put in new three-prong line cords so there is a 
safety ground.

I use the value that was there.  My favorite Y2's are the Vishay 
ceramics.  .01 is Mouser WYO103MCMCF0K, 1000 pf is Mouser 
WYO102MCMBF0K.  They look like the usual ceramic disc caps except 
shiny, bright blue.
