Thats great news.

So I plan to short the braided earth strap to the metal clip under the
rubber cup attached to the tube using a aligator clip, piece of wire
and a screwdriver with a good insulated handle.  Then remove the cup
and connect it direct to ground braid and metal clip before I bring my
earthed soldering iron in for the kill.

Then I plan to remove the mz73g which looks like a thermistor and
replace with an equivalent.

The Circuit Brd where this is mounted looks a bit heat stressed.

Does this sound good.

Any other tips.

Oh, yeah it has been disconnected for a while now.  But I know they
can still hold a nasty charge.

Cheers Justin
