The wide blade (neutral) should be tied to the chassis side of the AC line.
The AC switch (if it isn't wired this way already) should be wired to open
the
hot side of the AC leg.

Tie the ground wire to the case. Make sure the cabinet to chassis insulators
are in good condition--you don't want to have the neutral and ground leads
tied together at the equipment!

If R17 is open: that was probably caused by a defective rectifier (pins 3-7
on the filament tap open). Check the rectifier for an open filament on the
6 pilot lamp section.

justradios.com out of Canada has an extensive line of AC rated caps.
