The original FL-101's in the 390s draw about 5 ma ac current as its original design - it is not bad cap leakage. But does trip most gfi outlets. I replaced one in early 2022 and decided to use a corcom to avoid the GFI tripping issue. The one I used was a 20VK1, as it fit nicely in the space and I only had to drill one 1/8" mounting screw hole. I used an existing hole for mounting the other end.
There's a lot of discussion in the Pearls about this subject in the 'AC and Other Line Topics <https://www.r-390a.net/Pearls/AC_and_pwr_supply.pdf>' section. Search on 'FL-101'.
