Hi Glenn,
Long time.
Yea, it's the tricky AC/DC I am concerned about.
What about using MOV's, thought I read something about them not being recommended to use anymore in boatanchors?

I don't know of any article on doing this. However, it is a very simple thing to do.
Black wire goes first to the fuse and then to the off / on switch. If no fuse, add one!
White wire goes to unfused side of the power transformer. If there is a fuse, it should be rewired in the black lead. If 2-fuses, remove this one.
Green wire goes directly to the chassis.
Of course, this is with transformer powered units.
If AC / DC, then things get "tricky" depending on if one side of the AC line cord is connected to the chassis.

I have read a couple of different ones in the past, but can't seem to find any on data base searches.
Does anyone have a reference for this?
