I have a pre cbs 65 deluxe reverb that is often, too often shocking me. I want to properly ground it. My tech person says he needs to bypass the ground selector switch, drill a hole in the back panel, (NEVER!) and put in a bright orange or yellow cord. no, no no, Must be a better way.
Suggestions anyone?
THank you

First off, there is NO reason for the chord to be bright orange! You can go to any electronics outlet and purchas proper black sheilded tripple strand chord. I also think that you can get around the drilling.... by getting another tech!

Carlos, I was going to look and see how I did this in my Deluxe, but the amp is buried under a bunch of crap, and I'm too lazy to move it all. I know I didn't drill nothing (the amp can be put back just like it was), I used a black 3 conductor cord and I think I by-passed the polariaty switch.
I think I need a bigger house or less treasures.
