Mike, I'm curious about a specific use of he Y cap. Lately I've seen a single cap across the power transformer primary. Do you think it can be replaced with just one Y cap or the standard two. I know effectively the two together in series is equivalent to one across the primary but the configuration with one may work just as well since the neutral side of the mains is grounded. My grandson is getting a 1950 Siemens German radio to repair in a couple weeks and that's how they did it in those days. What's your opinion?
