Looking at the F-1 power supply schematic and noticed it was extremely similar to F-5 with one exception:
The F-5 has a run off of the power supply ground, leading to the CL-60, which then goes to chassis ground.
The F-1 appears identical, except each cap bank has its own CL-60 going to ground, and they are not linked as in the F-5.
Can someone explain why this is, or would either amp work either way? I'm sure there is a simple reason I just am not aware of?

I will stare at it further. Until osmosis sets in!

Or not and melted some three legged fuses.
Now that's funny!
