Instrument Voltage Regulator

Geez I don't know where my brain went there......

but you should remove it, you certainly don't want that 40 year old cap to short...........
Has anyone ever had this happen? I've found some with the wire broken off but never one that shorted/grounded. I think I've only sold 3-4 of those in 30 years and they were all for ones that were missing, not bad.
