Yes I found the power supply stage after looking over the schematic from Beitman's that I have (unfortunately I do not have access to the Sam's folder for this TV, I have every Sam's Folder from this time period except 110, and I don't wish to pay the $30 that Sam's is asking at their website for this Photofact folder copy.)

It does seem that it does have a floating ground which I'm not sure how it would work to do that with a terminal strip and 3 47 MFD 450 VDC electrolytic caps when the only terminal strips I have have the mounting tabs that mount it to the chassis also doubling as chassis ground terminals, which I don't need in this case.

Don't let the lack of a proper terminal strip prevent you from doing the job right.

Thanks for the link, I think I found a terminal strip there that will work for what I need.
