hi, im converting an ampeg b-15n power cord to 3-prong grounded plug. im sorry if this is completely obvious,but, i figure, better safe than sorry, so... do i solder the ground to the chassis of the amp? if not, where to? im assuming i connect to amp chassis, but i've made an ass of myself in the past with electrical assumptions. |

there are two leads coming from transformer-one goes to the ground switch, another goes to the middle power switch terminal. the other(top) power switch terminal is connected to the fuse. the other fuse terminal DOES NOT go to the transformer, but to the hot wire of the power cord. |

i can rewire this as you stated, but i am going to have to connect one of the transformer leads to one of the fuse leads(and move the fuse lead to the opposite power switch terminal). which transformer lead, the one that was previously connected to the ground switch, or the one that was connected to the power switch? |

i usually find myself lifting grounds, as opposed to putting them on... |
