C-1 Light switch capacitor

[Gerry P.]

I'm replacing the light switch on my '57 and need advice on hooking up the radio capacitor (another one of those times when I didn't take enough notes and pictures before I started the project). I know one end attaches to the positive terminal (next to red at rear of switch) and I think the other end attaches via a screw to the bottom of the switch along with the ground wire. Can someone please confirm this?
Thanks
Gerry

Gerry, sounds correct. Check AIM Section 12 sheet 12 and Radio FOA 102 sheet 2. Gary....

Thanks Gary - I think I've reaffirmed my conclusion of how the capacitor is connected. I went back and looked at my pictures which did show one end being attached to the bottom of the switch via a screw along with a ground wire. The other end attaches to a lug on the top of the switch (as described in the AIM). I had looked at the AIM but it only shows the top lug connecting point for the capacitor.
