Hello.

Yes cutting out that .022 uf cap removes the polarity function and the chance of getting shocked, it will also produce a louder buzz sound when you hands are not touching the strings.

The Concert model was the PA head .
The reverb tank was hung upside down from two Aluminum tubes the spanded the tank and the amp from front to rear.

These ends of these tubes where crushed flat and drilled out so that 6/32 machine screws held the bars to the top of the chassis.

If you pm me your email I can send you pictures of what the set up looks like.

I have to approve your post until you have made 5 of them and then they will just go right up to the board.
