Stew Based on your description my expectation is that you had a voltage breakdown of the bleeder resistor. While we normally think of resistors in terms of the power they can dissipate, there is a voltage limit that can be sustained across the resistor as well as from the body to ground. I

To be on the safe side, bond the amplifier chassis and the PS chassis together with a suitable length of shield from a piece of coax or similar cable. It certainly makes a big difference with the Hallicrafters SR-2000 Hurricane and P-2000 power supply. It is probably not a bad idea with any

John There is a ground wire in the cable that connects to pin 7 on both PS and amplifier that ties the chassis together. As I understand the metering system of the L4B/L7 you will always have the high voltage return sitting slightly above chassis due to the grid
