Quote: Or you can move that .015 uf cap to the radio side of the power switch and not worry about whether it's a safety cap or not since it will no longer be energized while the set is turned off.

Should it not still be an AC rated cap? If you make that switch and it has failed shorted, you still wind up a loud noise going "bump in the night".
