You are one lucky dog. I have seen too many ctc185 short the hot
ground to ac/cable ground cause big time major problems.

It is a $7.00 connector from Thomson, and good soldering equipment is
all that is required.

It's a miracle actually. 99% of the time if the connector is shorted to the hot
chassis on top of destroying the chassis, even the CRT filiments are burned
out. I wonder why the CTC175 with the hot chassis is never damaged the way the
185 is.
