[Hammarlund] National NC-173

Dan,

The chassis should NOT be hot to the AC line.  You probably have a =
shorted bypass capacitor from the AC line to the chassis, or a power =
transformer with an internal short from the primary to the case.  This =
is NOT normal for any BA with a power transformer [essentially, any one =
that you would want to own].  73.
