Restoring a "vintage" tuner

Posted by *Michael Z* (A) on November 5, 2006 at 07:40:00

Hey All,

I am updating an old tuner/amplifier/8-track for a buddy of mine (mainly for the incrediable tuner that is in it), due to it's age, there is no earth-ground connection on it.
I plan on adding an IEC connector to the unit and was wondering if I could connect the earth ground to the chassies, or leave it floating. My promart focus is the reception of the tuner, and my thought is a more stable ground will provide a lower noise floor.
I know this could open cans of worms as well.... Woudl I need a foliter ioslating ground to avoid any 60Hz anomlies? Is it just a bad idea? Any thoughts?

Thanks for the help in advance!
