Thanks Ron. I cut a piece of copper sheet about 1/4" wide and long enough to wrap around the power cord. I put a piece of fish paper between the copper and the cord and soldered a lead to the copper. It works pretty well.

I have another question that is somewhat related to the 48-482. I have a 2-page Philco advertisement from the Saturday Evening Post dated December 15, 1945. This ad shows a model 454 that looks exactly like the 48-482. It also has FM and SW. I would assume that the complete model would be a 46-454. I have looked around but cannot find any information on this set. I was curious if it is similar electrically to the 482. Do you have any information on such a model, Ron? The tag-line in the ad is kind of funny: "Ten Years Ahead of Four Years Ago!".
