What readings should I expect from the PT secondaries disconnected from the rest of the circuit?  
 
[QUOTE]I would suspect the .05/600volt cap to ground and would try it without it connected.  
I am assuming you are using a 3 pin mains plug thus grounding the chassis via the power (wall) outlet.[/QUOTE]

I have installed a three-prong cord (Italy here). Mains is 240VAC.  
I thought that I could trash the .047 cap from the fuse holder to ground, but I was not sure...
