Hi All
Just giving a Musicl Fidelity F16 a clean u and renewing main caps as they are dry as a bone(never heard a capacitor rattle before)
Looked at rectifier and noticed no caps across diodes to absorb switching noise but Philips orange drop caps wired up like this
Have seen caps across ac inputs before but never ac to ground
Anyone any ideas why its like this?
Ta for any info

They are to attempt to remove mains spike transients as diodes in this position are not fast enough to produce interference.It is all that is needed.
