Re: Heathkit IG-102 Earthing The Chassis
When I fixed an RF-1U for someone I soldered the centre (chassis) contact on the tag strip to the mains earth. Worked fine. The chassis is floating on these so all you’re doing is ground referencing it. I made sure I made the Earth wire about 4 inches longer than the other two so it was the last to break off.
I was almost tempted to stick an IEC socket on it as there was enough room once the selenium rectifier was evicted but the owner didn’t like that idea.
