A lot of the 'safety' chokes I've seen burn up if the blocking cap fails - they can't take the DC from a PSU capable of an amp or more. It does give you fair warning, but I'm not totally convinced ab

If that is intended to be advice that the safety choke is not needed, it is very bad advice. Blocking capacitors don't always fail shorted, they can fail with leakage. Not only that, normal charging

This is more than just a safety choke. With out it the small leakage current thru the Plate blocking capacitor would would charge up the output capacitor to full plate DC voltage on top of which will
