******elding is cheap and simple. By all means, keep the power transformer 
off the signal chassis, but rectifying and smoothing, THEN trying to
couple 
the result to the signal chassis is a recipe for disaster.

**Nope. You *only* want to transfer AC between chassis. Not DC. Unless you

are a fool, of course.
