Reducing RFI off the powerline into radio set

If the junk atx supply I have has such an input filter there's a Crosley which will be receiving some surgery tonight.

That should work, I'd use everything from the powerline input to the bridge rectifier. I'd also leave the ground not connected. We want to keep RFI from riding in via any ground or power wire.

The power resistor is 300 ohms, but this set runs the output transistor with a B+ of about 90V. So it's not the same as a battery portable.

I was just inquiring about the resistor for another radio, I'm working on.
I know that it has nothing to do with the line noise issue.
