Hi Les,
Like Grant said check those line bypass caps. I have a 500 A, they
are still present, and I don't have any trouble. I use a 3 wire
cord on mine.
If you don't mind, why are your using a GFI? Around here the code
only require them within 3 ft. of a water source. Sometimes RF can
give them fits as well. So if you aren't violating code, I would
remove the GRI and put in a standard socket. First you might get a
long extension cord and try it in a standard socket to see what
happens. If it opens a circuit breaker, then find out why.
Have fun and live it up.

Am restoring a 500C. The power supply trips the GFI. Filter caps
have been replaced. If the filtering circuit and caps have some
slight inherent leakage, should I bypass or eliminate them? Use a
3 wire to 2 wire adapter plug at the wall? (I would prefer to keep
it a 3-wire line.) Eliminate the GFI on that wall socket? Anyone
been down this road before?
Thanks in advance.
