I'll confirm the other post. Looks like C60, a .01 600v cap is from one
side of a.c. to ground. I'd certainly suspect it being leaky. If you're
going to replace it, why not use a .01 at 1KV disk, instead. Good luck
with it... doesn't sound like too much of a problem. I'd recomend that
you add a 3-conductor line cord, too. It doesn't detract from the looks
and its a heck of a lot safer!!! de K3HVG

I have an SX-71 in which I replaced the paper and lytic caps and still
have some stray voltage on the chassis. You can get a pretty good
shock under the right conditions. It was there before the recap and I
thought my resto work would have cured it. What could be causing this?
Also notice this on an older SX-16 that hasn't been recapped yet.
