Thanks guys.
Chad, Yeah, I thought I was right. I figured that would make it safer and save the set. I plan on having it plugged into a surge protector/line filter/circuit breaker strip when I use it. All of the goop leaked out of the power transformer because the chassis sat horizontal, you think that'll be any problem? I will also make sure that every part of the chassis is at ground potential. I'm just not sure what the best option would be--two or 3 prong IEC power entry jack. The two prong jack you see on an xbox, dreamcast, ps2, electric shavers, etc would be a drop in replacement and probably fit without any modification to the chassis (if I order the right one). The 3 prong IEC power entry jack would work too, and it would save the equipment if anything went wrong. The two prong jack in there is pretty worn from being in a shed for 30 years in LA weather, and it looks wimpy for the amount of power the set draws.
If you had a CTC9 and wanted to make the set safer and more reliable, and the AC jack was worn out, would you replace it with a two or three prong IEC power entry jack?
Thanks.
Jonathan
