[TenTec] Pegasus question

[Gary Hoffman]

Hi,

Does anyone have a schematic and know if the metal case and other
exterior metal parts of the Pegasus are supposed to be connected to
ground ?  On mine, I read several ohms of resistance.  Before I
blunder on in and "fix" it, I'd like to know if it is ungrounded by
design.

substitute MRF 454's with little change in performance. MRF 454s are much
more plentiful. I believe I looked into that at one time and confirmed that
the MRF 454 would be a suitable replacement.
